I've just trying to remember all the times i've heard this in relation to other languages replacing C/C++. I'd say java and C# are definitely in this category, but also python, go and probably swift too.
So I can now add rust to this list.
It's also interesting to see this as a tweet, avoiding any worry about the nuance of the problem domain, the experience of the developers, or what problems they encounter. Sure, rust is safer than C++, but is this important to the project you work on? What sort of problems do you encounter? Would rust help? What problems would it introduce?
Anyhow, 'rust is the new C++'. I wonder what the calling cry will be in 5 years time.
