The number of Rust developers is a drop in the ocean compared with C++ developers. There are more than 5 million C++ developers out there starting new C++ projects every single day. I am one of them.


Not that I disagree that there are a large number of C++ programmers out there, but where did you get that number?


Yeah obviously that's true now because C++ has been around for literally decades and had basically 0 competition for all that time.


And it will continue to be true for a very long time since the world runs on software written in C and C++ and that needs to be maintained and improved.
