This seems like a circular argument? Why is rust not killing C++? Because it's not as prevalent. I'm not sure the author added anything insightful to the conversation.
- bluGill 2y agoThe author's circular argument is correct. C++ had long noted this - which is why they are unwilling to break ABI despite many improvements that would be possible if they would. They know that a stable language is one of their largest selling points. (see phython 3, perl 6). I agree this isn't much to add, but many people fail to realize this argument and so it is important.
