Cantrill did a talk on which he touches on C, C++ and Rust for systems programming [1]. His tl;dr being that Rust feels very much like a proper systems programming language, and more of a « better C » than C++. I don't entirely know what to make of it, but my instinct is that something like C++ with such an opportunity space for baroque concoctions (leading to an obsession with design patterns) is just playing with fire.
