I don't blame people for jumping ships. There are a lot of mature, safe and fast enough languages (no, I'm not talking about you, python) and for many projects there is very little justifications for writing them in C++. I expect Rust to grow to be about as complex as C++, except for the most part memory safe. I still think it would be a big win overall but I don't know if it will significantly displace it though.

It's probably unavoidable, since no single person has the power to impose a direction for Rust. There's no technical reason why C++ could not be made memory safe if needed, by piling on complexity, like compiler flags and checked smart pointers or something like that, but I don't know if it's worth it.
