No, the world has not moved. Yet.
And there's go. And there's D. And there's Nim.
And there's modern C++. It has improved during the last decade, and keeps improving.
It is still an open race with no clear winner.
- noncoml 8y agoI didn’t mean the world has moved to Rust. But other languages other than C. Java, Go, JS, Python, Ruby, etc..
- Shorel 8y agoIn that case... I think the world actually moved from C/C++ to Java 15 years ago. Then a segment of developers realized it still needed C++ and went back to it. C++ development feels more popular now than it was 10 years ago. And the language is certainly better than it was. Slow and 'productive' languages like Python and Ruby fill another niche and are not in direct competition. Only now with the popularity of Rust and go, there's something that C++ developers can move to, but somehow there's no clear answer. I personally prefer D instead of Rust. And I prefer C++ to Java.
