> I don't think C++ programmers in general are worth chasing. If they stuck with C++ for such a long time, it means they are used to it and accept C++ with all its flaws People don’t use C++ because it’s convenient and easy, they use it because it’s one of the best widely used options/ecosystems if performance really matters. Any other language targeting this space has to chase C++ users because C++ is so prevalent. It would be like coming up with a new general purpose dynamic language and not appealing to Python users, or a new stats modeling language and not appealing to R users.
