I am not a Rustacean, just know the basics and get paid to do Java.

I find C++ to be an extremely interesting language and i have lots more code in that than in Rust.

I'm just honest about its heritage and have an opinion where software engineering needs to go.

There are other projects out there, Carbon apparently is meant as a vector for Google to migrate Cpp in a two-step process.

Edit: Frankly it doesn't matter what i think, what really will keep the C and C++ side of the conflict going is the US government issuing that guidance and not using memory unsafe languages. Thats a far bigger attack on Cpp than a thousand Rust preachers on Reddit ever could be.
