ARE THERE ANY GOOD REASONS TO USE C++ OVER RUST FOR NEW PROJECTS TODAY? (LOBSTERS THREAD)

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

This thread discusses contexts where using C++ makes more sense than using Rust, things people new to Rust should watch out for when starting new projects, and things that those considering making Rust their go-to language should be aware of. It increasingly looks like Rust can solve all of the problems that C++ can without losing performance while gaining better memory safety guarantees and better type invariance guarantees. However, there are still several reasons to stick with C++, for example, Q2 and Unreal Engine require C++ and platform support for Rust is still limited.
