I have been programming in C++ for a very long time (25+ years career). And no I don’t hate Rust at all. I welcome any attempt to make better, safer language that are still fast. I actually wish that Rust had gone one step further and implemented Dependent Types and Refinement Types. It would allow you to prove code correct in Rust. Which is even better than the current Rust guarantees. Having said that, there are about 5 million C++ users out there writing C++ software every day. So it will take a loooooooooong time before Rust usage catches up. If it ever will.
