>> I'm sure other people will be able to share reasons their organizations use C++ Rust is great and offers a great path forward, but it was not around 20+ years ago when $BIG_PROJECT was written. C++ was around, popular, and useful so $BIG_PROJECT was written in C++. $BIG_PROJECT made $BIG_COMPANY millions and is still in use today. $BIG_PROJECT engineers are looking into migrating parts of $BIG_PROJECT to Rust, but the work is still early and the $BIG_PROJECT's millions of lines of C++ won't be replaced overnight. Improved, more uniform tooling for C++ would simplify maintenance for $BIG_PROJECT and make it easier to move $BIG_PROJECT to newer C++ toolchains and even other C++ toolchain vendors. Maybe one day $BIG_PROJECT will migrate fully to Rust, or perhaps $BIG_PROJECT will be re-written from the ground up in Rust, but for now $BIG_PROJECT has to work.
