I learned C++ and enjoyed it but never went too deep. I always enjoyed C more. There's also so many S tier codebases to read to learn C better like the original Dune game engine or Unix utilities.

Having dabbled a bit with Rust recently I can't see any strong reasons to use C++. The combination of strong functional programing inspired type system with performance seems unbeatable. Almost a perfect language.

I'm sure there must be some legacy reasons to use C++ though. Maybe Game Engines, embedded programing, some kind of other legacy tie in?
