There is no such language as C/C++. You and I are tired of C being used where using a more powerful, safer language would also be faster. Rust could be that language, but C++ is another, and much more likely to still be known in ten years.

/ = or
As in C or C++. I didn't mean it as its own language. And C++ has plenty of issues where I'd consider it equally unsafe. Unless you're a god tier programmer, and even then, it's impossible to write safe code without insane amounts of effort that can't be expected in most projects.
