@hmans I have to agree with the take, except that for certain domains there's C++, C, and maybe Zig. Even with 20+ years of C++ experience, I currently would prefer Rust for any sort of green-field project where C++ would be the historically best choice.
I realize this is faint praise, but oh well, how it looks is based on the taste of the early rust language developers in 2010-2015. There's no accounting for taste. Other things about the language and tooling make it preferable.
