Rust lacunae

> You can repeat "unsuitable" until you turn blue. Meanwhile, thousands of pages of C++ code that you will come to depend upon every day, suitable or not, are coded for every single page of Rust. This will still be true five and ten years on.

> I don't make reality, I only observe and report it. Whether you have any effect on it is up to you. Promoting Rust is one way to choose not to. That is allowed much like fooling yourself is.

You only observe and report reality? Like the future? Well they do say prediction is always difficult, especially if it's about the future.

It won't take much, and you could suddenly find all those thousands of pages you describe are legacy. There's probably *still* more Cobol than C++ in regular production use, but nobody hears about it because it's all in maintenance mode. What will you say if that description becomes true of C++ in the next decade?
