>I would probably never get involved in a C/C++ project nowadays, but I've been learning Rust these past few years and would definitely get involved in a Rust project if I had the chance. This right here is a killer motivation. I will never contribute to a C/C++ codebase. The tooling is all bad, and I am too uncomfortable doing the simplest things (hello C strings). With Rust, I have few such reservations, and could contribute a patch here or there.
