Rust is the future, C is the new Assembly: Josh Triplett (Intel)

The Rust community definitely believes in the idea that if you repeat something enough times it becomes reality.

At least the Rust subreddit figured out that there's this other language which fulfills the same requirements of being a higher level C, except unlike Rust it has a massive ecosystem, mind share and vendor support - including from Intel. It does have worse PR, but this is mostly because Rust is unbeatable here.

It would be interesting to also hear from Josh's colleagues which work on a large number of C and C++ projects. Do they agree that Rust is the future? And does that mean that all of Intel's money-making software is essentially obsolete? Is Intel the company aware of that?

I like Rust because C++ is simply beyond my cognitive abilities.

Which language are you talking about? C++?

Yes, C++. Although I'm not convinced that Intel's ready to move away from C to be honest.
