Goodbye, Rust. I wish you success but I'm back to C++ (sorry, it is a rant)

TL,DR: Because jobs. In my 3 year run in Rust I did asynch/multithreaded code, FFI with bindgen, kernel programming without std. It was fun. But...

@rust_discussions It's a very dump assumption.
Rust is now taught in serious engineering school (it's a Rust job), critical mass was reach times ago.
Go is not made to solve the same problems as Rust, one should not be putting them side by side (the result would be harsh on go).
And we know for a long time C++ is not fixable due to the intrinsic limitation of the language (its C heritage).
After ten years of C++, I would cut of both of my legs before coming back to C++ from Rust.

@webshinra @rust_discussions C++ is fixable, Sean Baxter demonstrated that with his working implementation of Safe C++ in his Circle project. The problem is that the C++ ISO Committee have their heads stuck in sand and refuse to consider it, or other viable solutions to safety.

@bjn @rust_discussions a very smart and impressive Rust-poultice on a wooden leg.
Safety is not the only C++ problem ; and one could argue that safe C++ can already be seen as another language (at least a new dialect) due to the paradigmatic shift needed to be acquired to use it.

@webshinra @bjn @rust_discussions yep, just another c dialict to bother. Twenty years here woking with c and c++ for telecom, and I'm gladly now c++ are going to fade in time.
