How come on every thread showing an example of how to do something in Rust there's a staunch C++ defender thinking the whole world should be using their language? C++ is a complex beast that due to its age has quite a number of disadvantages and no two codebases I've seen are the same - a measure of a language is its simplicity and C++ subjectively isn't thus. If you like C++ that's fine; doesn't mean you can't do it in Rust as well.

I think it's good that other languages are evolving that are safer, make it easier to do concurrency, have an idiomatic style and still are performant whilst removing legacy cruft. It's the natural evolution of things. Every C++ team I've been on debates every feature usage (e.g. auto/lambdas/etc) where one team's good code is another's bad idea due to sheer amount of legacy features vs new ways, what language constructs are good vs completely bad ideas (everyone has completely different opinions), how should I import libraries, what build tool to use, etc.
