- Verdex 3y agoThis is the key insight. I think that the reason why we have so many c++ replacement languages is because c++ is okayish for basically anything. Replacing it completely will necessitate several different languages that are good for different applications. Okayish was fine or even necessary in the past but the industry has matured to the point where we need more purpose built tools for more specific projects. Rust is going to be necessary but also zig, hylo, vale, p, Odin, and jai (assuming we ever get a release date). A language able to do everything that c++ can is almost definitely only able to do it all okayish.
