> Reason #1) C++ is just dumb in 2024 and choosing it is a big red blinking sign that the devs make bad decisions. Now they're considering a rewrite in a better language? So, starting again from scratch... No thanks! Because modern C++ (e.g., using std::unique_ptr with std::make_unique() and RAII wherever possible) is safe enough, is getting safer with each iteration, is easier to learn for someone who already knows C or older (pre-11) variants of C++, and offers greater compatibility with the billions of lines of code already written in C and C++. > Reason #2) Given the track record of the main author of being an ass to people who aren't willing to be marginalized I was hesitant to even mention this, but not having to deal with demanding, danger-haired political agitators wielding their CoCs is enough of a reason for me to avoid Rust completely.
