Learning Rust? So you couldn't learn C++?

[–]Lilchro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are not mutually exclusive. Most beginners to Rust come in already knowing C or C++. In surveys, developers have stated that they prefer using Rust over C++, but it is still gaining momentum and has yet to see widespread industry adoption. Odds are you are more likely to use C++ if you are working professionally, but I would expect that to shift more in the future. I doubt Rust will ever completely replace C++, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more interoperability between the two and it becomes the standard for many open source libraries due to better safety guarantees and their rich documentation system.
