Curious why you chose C++? Were there aspects of other languages/ecosystems like Rust that were lacking? Would choosing Rust be advantageous for blockchains that natively support it (like Solana)?

To be clear: I don't mean to imply you should have done it any other way. I'm interested mainly in gaps in existing ecosystems and whether popular suggestions to "deprecate C++ for memory safe languages" (like one made by Azure CTO years ago) are realistic.
