Rust has managed to shift the discussion around systems programming to focus on safety. It didn't used to be like that. Memory-related crashes and vulnerabilities weren't blamed on C++, but just bad programmers not following best practices. Any discussion of flaws in C++ was a circular "if you don't like C++, then use C", and "if you don't like C, then use C++", because there wasn't a third option. Now even the C++ community is wondering whether C++ is becoming a "legacy" language.
