No language has ever "killed off" any language as popular as C++. Perl isn't dead yet. C hasn't even killed COBOL and Fortran. Anyway, if Rust doesn't unseat C

No language has ever "killed off" any language as popular as C++. Perl isn't dead yet. C hasn't even killed COBOL and Fortran.
Anyway, if Rust doesn't unseat C++, of all languages, it won't be because of language complexity. There's very little complexity in Rust that isn't inherent to the language goals anyway.
