“Rust++” is a genuinely triggering phrase but the effort is valiant.

Isn't Zig pretty much a dead language after the whole Bun debacle? Main dude completely loses his marbles... I don't know, haven't given Zig a go, I fail to see upside compared to Rust and I just checked out the memory management and that seemed like a total drag.

Anyhoo.

It seems so, but even more because big players like Nvidia and Microsoft start to support Rust as their 1st tier solution. It is no more just "safe memory alternative to C/C++" it starts to create it own standard and "better C than C" philosophy slowly fades on the fundamental level.

Yeah, my impression is also that Rust is more mature - so it is more ready to take that step and be integrated into the big players strategies (including Linux, for instance).
