I think Rust stands a chance as a C/C++ replacement: manual low-level memory management, templates, a powerful macro system and type-safeness.

- mcguire 13y agoRust is specifically aimed at "frustrated C++ developers": http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/08/Interview-Rust http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/08/Interview-Rust. "templates, a powerful macro system" I really like Rust, but I haven't been paying attention for a month or so; did something change? Templates? And the macro system was...oddly limited when I tried fooling with it.
- kibwen 13y agoRust consciously avoids having C++-style templates, so I think stelonix is referring to plain old generics.
