Patricia Aas added,
Alas they both suffer from near identical top bug classes (it's memory safety, surprise surprise). So I don't see this as anything other than a popularity contest.
I'd be really interested to see C++ bug classes plotted against time to see if modern practices are helping in the areas we say they're helping in.
People writing critical internet infrastructure still do that in C (cURL, Nginx, libSodium, etc). No improvement to C++ will fix that. I'd be more interested in the types of bugs which will be abused in the future, with rust fixing memory safety bugs, /1
logic bugs will be abused much more often, I'd assume. Right now there is no (good) incentive to search for them, since memory safety bugs are much more easy to find & exploit.
If they’re not rewriting to C++ are they really rewriting to Rust, though?
If I had to do it again, I would still use C. Why? Software written in C can be used anywhere. Bindings for other languages are easy to write. Even old OS's have a C compiler good enough to compile everything. "It requires Rust"/"It requires C++17" are barriers to adoption.
The bindings part is super important. Every respectable language has a way to easily call C ABI functions. Although, newer programming languages are allowing to create C ABI functions now, too. IIRC, @rustlang as well.
