There is at least one order of magnitude more C++ code than Rust code, and not all projects can switch over at the drop of a hat.

I would guess at least 3 or 4 orders of magnitude.

That's much more realistic. Right now if you were to guess the number of people currently employed primarily as C++ vs Rust programmers, the difference is going to be well over 100x.

Not to mention the long history of C++. Rust has a very long way to go to catch up.
