C++ is fine and has a lot of libraries built up — especially around image processing. It will be quite some time before Rust replaces C++. But if I had time to learn only one sugary C, it’d be Rust.

- atoav 3y agoAs someone who programs both C++ and Rust I'd say what apeaks for C++ is all the things that have been created for it during the long life of the language. But Rust is catching up in that space and has a lot going for it in terms of ergonomics and safety. The fact that you often have the "if it compiles it works" experience (provided you leverage the type system) is such a good thing. It is just a nice language for certain things.
- valianteffort 3y agoMy own reluctance to invest in rust is the body which governs it making strange decisions like the copyright thing from some months back.
