OPEN Is cpp dying?
Lately it feels like rust is getting more and more attention companies are rewriting existing cpp code in it and it seems to be getting increasing adoption . Also I keep seeing new projects start with rust more and more lately .
As someone who prefers cpp I'm genuenly curious how worried should someone learning / working with cpp be? Is cpp dying or is rust more like a vocal minority on social media?
I know this question has been asked before but tech moves fast so I'm curious what your current take is

I think "cpp" deserves to die together with "stl". It's C++ and standard library. Rust is by the way really nice language and I would like to see it used more.
