But the world is built on C++ and there are no alternatives for it. C is too low level and Rust has garbage collector which may not be fit for the domain C++ is suitable for. No alternatives in the domains where C++ shines.

Rust has as much garbage collector as C++ has share_ptr. Put simply, it doesn’t have.

There is definitely more C than C++ running under the hood on most computers. C is the language where there are no alternatives if you ask me. Go is garbage collected and C++/Rust are both infinitely more complicated.

Ada 2012?

Perhaps no other _popular_ alternatives but still there are alternatives.
