Absolutely!
I think the important question is, what will happen first:
(a) C++ gets better tooling around build systems and package management; or
(b) Rust libraries are written for all of the things that we care about?
Certainly in the HN bubble it feels like (b).
- est31 8y agoIt's not just package management. C++ is hugely overcomplicated with features. Understanding C++ is a life project. And the language is unsafe-by-default so you will spend time tracking down segfaults or other UB stuff. Rust allows me to focus on the problem domain, less on the language.
