I think Rust kind of aged C. It happens when some new band push the needle for a genre, its only when this happens that the "modern" stuff start to look old.

I think Rust kind of aged C. It happens when some new band push the needle for a genre, its only when this happens that the "modern" stuff start to look old. C is getting deprecated while C++ will need to catch up somehow (if there's a way). This is actually a good effect of Rust, making people think more that safety is important and that its possible to have more of that in languages without a GC. (Sorry for hijacking the question, that was not directed at me, but this is a good debate so i couldn't resist)
