Ah, so more talking about the competition to win over the mindshare of people who enjoy C, as opposed to technical competition and merits of the languages.
I might personally describe that differently, as I felt like the GP was implying that C++ and Rust couldn't be used in the same space as C, which isn't quite true.
One challenge C++ has always had is that the language overhead, while easier in some contexts, didn't bring with it significant safety guarantees. As more people are introduced to safer, low overhead languages, I anticipate that to change.
