Is it doing fine without those? It seems like every time someone makes a personal or professional project in C/C++, the Rust community floods the comments section and talks about how it's irresponsible to use C/C++ and how the author should just throw away the whole project and re-write it in Rust.

It happens so often it became a meme at this point.

No, the meme is kept alive by C++ people who say that this happens without it actually happen. It happened a long time ago a few times, since then it's either an active discussion about languages, where for some reason talking about Rust is a problem, but every other language is okay or it's someone feeling attacked by the mere idea that projects which only could be done in C++ could now also be done by another language and starts crying about how the Rust community would flood every topic.

There's no longer an area where C++ is the only available option. Get over it. The rest of the world did a long time ago.
