> At what point does a C++ programmer like yourself just switch to something that advertises safety but also C like performance? As a former diehard c++ developer, modern c++ was the reason I started learning Rust. All the good parts of modern c++, without any of the legacy baggage holding it back, and avoiding all of the things that made modern c++ necessary in the first place. I still program in c++ professionally but only for legacy programs. For anything new I would avoid it in favour of a modern language.
