I can think of a few scenarios for C++ off-hand. Most of them involve integrating with libraries or frameworks that are written in C++, running on platforms that have good C++ toolchains, or working with verification systems that can process certain C++ or C subsets.

Yes, but all of these are essentially all because the existing code is already based on C(++). We should be able to move to Rust sooner than people think.

Should ≠ will.

We still have Fortran and Cobol. It’s easy to imagine that Rust will replace C++ Real Soon Now, because you just have to imagine that all of the legacy code disappears, and Rust gets all the tooling support that C++ has.
