Beyond that, this article is just a little bit absurd. Say what you will about Rust but it's a functional and gradually maturing ecosystem powering more and more things as time goes by. Given that it's sorta-kinda intended to build the kind of things C++ does, the idea that it'll eventually overtake C++ is at least plausible. In comparison this article claims that

1) A cool research language packaged into a VS Code plugin 2) A cool research compiler for Python + numpy 3) A cool generic ISA project

will kill C++? Maybe for the author's _very_ specific use case of blindly copying things from SymPy, but really I think you'd have better odds betting on a D resurgence.
