Cranston's Life - Rust and More Rust

The Popularity of Rust!

Today I learned of the Why is the Rust programming language not getting popular? article.

It is about a topic that is so CONTENTIOUS within the Rust community I believe!

The relationship between Rust and C++ is such a COMPLEX one.

When to use Rust and when to use C++ is such a CHALLENGING matter that I don't think has an easy answer.

This topic brings up so MANY questions!

Should Rust even try to COMPETE with C++, or should it just do its own thing for its own users?

Some may even ask, are Rust and C++ even COMPETITORS to begin with?!

Will Rust still be as special as it currently is if future versions of C++ start to support some of its features?

While we use C++ code that is many years old, will we have the same success in the future using Rust code that is many years old?

What a COMPLEX matter!

I will have to THINK about this matter some more.
