Aren't almost all new projects that otherwise would have been written in C or C++ good fits for Rust?
- smt88 2y ago"Almost all" is a stretch. Certainly a lot, and most new C/C++ (and even Go) projects will mention that they considered Rust before choosing a different language.
- epcoa 2y agoIn theory, the language might be a decent fit. But it’s not the language (mostly), it’s the library and ecosystem. Definitely not enough to unseat C++ yet for many new projects.
- pier25 2y agoAlmost all? I doubt it. The C++ ecosystem is too strong. There are many industries like game dev and audio dev where C++ is not going to be replaced any time soon, even for new projects. Also plenty of apps that need high performance crossplatform GUI will probably keep relying on QT. Apps like Da Vinci Resolve or Autodesk Maya.
