C++ is a language with perfect 30-year backwards compatibility, and which mostly-maintains compatibility with another language it forked from (C), after 40 years of diverging development.

Rust is a language which isn't backwards-compatible, and certainly not compatible with source code in other languages.

Now, sure, Rust has its advantages, but - how can you fault C++ in the context of compatibility?
