I very much enjoy Rust and write a fair bit of C++ as well. I don’t think Rust will replace C++ completely but it will definitely significantly eat into its market share for certain types of applications. In the past if you absolutely needed a “modern” language and needed performance you’d basically only go C++ (or maybe C). IMO if you’re writing a highly concurrent or parallel application it’s hard to deny how much more productive and safer it is to write it in Rust. Optimizing cpu instructions in a single thread? Rust might just be an alternative and not competitive.
