Judging by it's age and how much crap it's accumulated already, I think in 10 years time Rust won't be in a much better situation. Similarly, judging by C++'s current trajectory, in 10 years it will have a simplified subset (enforced with something similar to --pedantic) which is easier to get right than Rust is today. Also, it will have a static analysis borrow checker based on clang-tidy.
