I make it 9 years since the first release and 4 years since the first stable version (aka 1.0).
Either way it's a short time in which to gain acceptance anywhere near the level of C++ so it's not surprising it hasn't. Although companies (including Microsoft and some Google teams) are just starting to take it seriously.
- imtringued 7y agoIt's not a short time. C++ is only 34 years old and back them there were fewer developers than today.
- hyperman1 7y agoC with classes, which would be comparable to pre 1.0 rust, started in 1979, so 40 years ago. The first commercial C++ and the book were in 1985 and 34 years ago. I'd guess that's a good 1.0 milestone, comparable with rust's 4 years.
