I don't think so. Of course, there is space for Rust and Go. But that does not mean there will be no niche for C and C++. That is simply not correct. Ignoring C and C++ mean you are ignoring maybe billion $ industry around them . and That is simply wishful thinking.

Right, very difficult to move the inertia in any direction. The same is true about Java too.

But there are fewer reasons for any starting a new project to do it in C or C++.

Newer stuff replaces older stuff, Heck when C came along, there were languages with billion $ industry around them. C replaced them.

Sure, but you could argue the same for things like COBOL
