You folks are in an HN bubble.
C++ is still king of the mountain and it will remain so for decades.
The billions of lines of existing C++ are not being re-written in rust (by humans or AI's). 100 thousands of lines are being re-written.
C++ is changing, but C++11 is moving across the land. It will be 20 years before the 'new' C++ stuff gets regularly used.
Just because it is old, doesn't mean it doesn't have value.
Just because it is done a certain way at google, doesn't mean you have to do it that way.
- _hao 2mo agoWas about to say the same thing. The amount of training code for LLM's that exists in C++ is probably orders of magnitude more than any other "challenger" languages combined. Love it or hate it C++ is here to stay.
