It may replace C++, but it will take decades to do so. The C and C++ ecosystem is gigantic and has been around for 30 to 40 years and will will be around for the next 100 years or more years IMHO.

Replace = new development is done in Rust, C++ development is for supporting (huge amounts of) existing C++ code.

Even COBOL is not completely phased out by now, and runs in production, but it has been largely replaced by other languages.
