This post makes the mistake of assuming that anybody in industry writes secure C or C++ code.

- Rust doesn't have to keep 30+ years of backwards compatibility. You can learn it.

- C++ has hundreds of dialects to pick from. You'll spend time bikeshedding with coding standards, you'll spend time in meetings trying to get people to agree to a standard, you'll spend time trying to enforce the standard...

- Rust makes reasonable decisions by default, and mutable/unsafe code is opt-in.
