It's sort of funny that you're holding rust to a far higher standard than c++ has ever met. A more honest post would say "c++ will continue to be used because c++ is what is used and that's how we like it."
- falcolas 12y agoThe only standard that I'm holding C++ to is that it's been around longer, which means that the big holes have been patched (or bilge pumps dispatched), and developers who use it are realistic about what they are able to achieve. That doesn't seem like a very high standard to hold Rust to. The problem is there's still holes we don't know about, and the developers who evangelize it are all starry-eyed about "never having to deal with memory again!" When the shine wears off a bit (on both the language and its users), the big holes can be found and patched, the bilge pumps dispatched for the small ones, and Rust can move forward with a lot more confidence.
