Poettering: Revisiting how we put together Linux systems

C++ exists and grows because it *uniquely* meets a real need. It's far from a perfect solution to that need, but it persists because hardly else seems to be trying. Rust seems to be trying, but it's a decade or two away from sufficient maturity. Worse, it could make some fatal mistake any day, not recognize it for a little too long, and then never get there. (Might have done already, I haven't kept up.)
