Comment Comment by budman1 You folks are in an HN bubble.C++ is still king of the mountain and it will remain so for decades.The billions of lines of existing C++ are not being re-written in rust (by humans or AI's). 100 thousands of lines are being re-written.C++ is changing, but C++11 is moving across the land. It will be 20 years before the 'new' C++ stuff gets regularly used.Just because it is old, doesn't mean it doesn't have value.Just because it is done a certain way at google, doesn't mean you have to do it that way. parent budman1 2 months ago
