It's not a very bold statement. I bet Strousup would back me up on it, and if not he would add slight nuance. The basic thought process for choosing C++ is very simple: Can I do this in any other language, if yes, choose one of those languages. The cool thing about Rust is that it covers a selection of problems where normally the answer would be 'no'. I totally believe you that there's still problems where the answer is still no, but I don't think a webservice is going to be it.
