"C++ itself was a replacement for C" Actually, Cpp originally was a C template pre-compiler if I recall... just like Rust was. Note, people argue for years about various language merits. "there's nothing of note in the last 10 months" Indeed, still a pain to build, port, and package on some systems due to the poor project design required dependencies. There are papers pointing out the common fallacy of increased memory safety with the current Rust builds as well. Of course, Rust may work fine for whatever you are building. =)
