As amusing as it is to imagine language developers getting executed when their language falls out of favor, I think most C++ people are happy about Rust. The problem are large codebases already in C++ that won't get rewritten, so we have to do the best we can, within the constraints of C++.
- IshKebab 2y agoDepends what you mean by "C++ people". I think most of those C++ people who are happy about Rust would say they are now Rust people who may be forced to use C++ sometimes.
- bluGill 2y agoNo, I'm still a C++ person because while Rust is intriguing I have so much existing C++ it would be billions of dollars to rewrite to rust and it will take years to get more than a trivial amount of Rust. For the vast majority of new features the cost to implementing it in Rust is far higher than the cost of doing it in C++.
