I find it amazing that so many are clinging on to C++. It must be that sense of accomplishment when you finally succeed, having solved a bunch of problems on the way. C++ has had so many chances now. Many new standards coming out over the last decade. But the language is hardly simpler, just more to learn. See CoreCppGuidelines. This is what the 2 most prominent people of C++ want developers to learn in order to practice “safe” C++. This doesn’t scale. A language needs to be built from the ground up for developers. Rust has taken a whole new concept and tried to solve memory issues directly with the compiler. Other languages are solving other kinds of issues (for differing kinds of use cases). A language should not put such a burden on the developer.
