FWIW, the revolt to Rust is already happening.
Why would anybody choose C++ over Rust in 2025? The biggest (valid) criticisms against Rust are that it is difficult to learn and use, but C++ is like 1000 times harder. When people say Rust is complicated they’re comparing it to modern GCed languages, not to C++.
- int_19h 2y agoWhy C++ still gets chosen: 1. There is a lot more experienced C++ devs around. 2. There are a lot more libraries that are readily usable from C++ but would need to be wrapped to use in Rust. 3. The tooling (IDEs etc) around C++ is more mature.
