I doubt there was any fall to the number of C++ projects started. For the domains C++ is used (OSes, premium apps the likes of Office, Photoshop, 3D, video editing, DAWs, etc, AAA games, networking, databases, number crunching, etc), there's no substitute with the same number of compilers, ecosystem, maturity, and programmer base. Rust doesn't even come close.
