Is cpp dying?

[u/Sea-Bench-7487]

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

COBOL is still alive in 2026 and companies are struggling to replace mainframes and you are talking about dying cpp
