Nothing. Unless you think rust will become the next c++, and the world will move to it en masse, in which case people still won't rewrite most of the old libraries to it.
At best people can hope that somebody comes up with a neat import system of c++ namespaces, a rock solid debugger and a fluid ide.
Rust will be like Go. Both pushed by corporations, and probably follow the fate of cobol, if history is to be asked.
- moomin 10y agoSince COBOL is the longest actively used language I wouldn't say that was so bad.
- quickben 10y agoIf anything it was good for the overall good of our ecosystem. People coded it, used it, built with it. We all are in a better place knowledge and experience wise. New languages generally are good.
- bluejekyll 10y ago> Rust will be like Go. Perhaps in adoption, but Rust has a huge feature over Go, which is that it can be integrated into existing codebases through FFI conventions, such that you can slowly incorporate Rust in safety critical areas (as an initial starting point).
