    Yeah, I have been a long for some time and that was the speech for Java, C# etc too you know.

    Real like isn’t usually coding a new program with unsafe pointers for speed, it’s usually a 20 y old codebase in C/C++ that interferes with third parties in C, C++, C# and two distinct versions of Java, incompatible between each other.

    So maybe Rust is the new deal, like Python was supposed to be and Java before that, we’ll see…

      Python never claimed to be the new deal, neither did java. At least not in the “c++ is now obsolete” way.

      Rust definitely can replace c++, the major reason for not doing so right now is the legacy stuff, but as rust / c++ interop improves I think we will see more companies moving away from c++.

        Java was force fed down everyone’s throats being the new genius language to make all other languages obsolete. For years and years.

        Python way less but there were lots of “why not just do it in Python, it’s better and you develop faster!!” Look at XYZ they use Python!!
