Yeah, you and I are both entitled to our guesses about Rust and Zig respectively in the future. Both have serious production projects (bun and TigerBeetle are best-in-class to head off any "hobby project" stuff), neither is making serious inroads to the domains I'm talking about: it doesn't get any hotter than the new CUTLASS stuff, and that's greenfield modern C++ with a standardization regime (mdarray) with 100% industry voting as a bloc for "it's still modern C++ at the frontier". HFT shops have at least some Rust at least auditioning, but the reqs are still C++, and they rewrite anything that alpha decays out.
When it's for all the marbles today? It's C++. The future is an open question, but a lot of us are pushing hard for C++.
