The main problem with C and C++ is the development model. There is a standard committee that meets for a couple of days three times a year. At this meeting, they discuss proposals. They have been talking about ranges since maybe around 2000 and they still aren't quite in the language. It would be impossible for me to contribute to any standard even if I wanted to. Rust's development happens all on github. I can see all the discussions as they are happening and potentially even meaningfully contribute. Rust already has essentially all the things the C++ standard committee wants to standardize in the next couple of years and then some more. Besides the language itself, the lack of a package manager is a huge hurdle. Is this about knowing C or developing in C? Nothing wrong with knowing C, but developing in C is a bad idea (also immoral /s).
