Rust is winning marketshare because it was built ground-up to take advantage of the massive progression of Moore's Law at compile time. Compiling programs written in Rust would have been completely infeasible 20 years ago, it would have simply been too slow.
- adrianN 3y agoC++ doesn't compile that much faster than Rust.
- snovv_crash 3y agoModern C++, I agree. C++98 is a lot faster to compile though, even the same code using the same standard library calls.
- adrianN 3y agoHaving worked on a modestly sized C++98 codebase in the recent past, I don't think I agree. But of course it would need proper benchmarks.
