Wonder why not write it in Go or Rust, c++ limits contribution to old developers only

None of my friends know c++

But all of them know Go or Rust.

Well the first thing to realise is that you live in a bubble.

Yes, I am in SV. It's a bubble but that shouldn't be a problem, everyone around me is Rust and Go hacker

I'm not in SV but have worked in a few different areas/industries and all are big C++ houses. I'm not old :)

I'm in a bubble too. I couldn't name a single friend or colleague who uses Rust or Go.

Just for example, scanning the jobs in my city the most in demand are c#, java and c++ in that order.
