There's no way for 8-track to compete with compact cassettes. There's no way for VHS to compete with Betamax. There's no way for C to compete with <insert any language>. Yet, against all odds, technical superiority does not always result in market dominance.
Call me when there's more Rust jobs than C++ jobs, or when they're not entirely posted to Rust mailing lists.
