ASK HN: ARE THERE ANY GOOD REASONS TO USE C++ OVER RUST FOR NEW PROJECTS TODAY? (HACKER NEWS THREAD)

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Rust is quickly growing in popularity, but C++ is still ideal for many use cases due to its integrations with existing libraries and familiarity with a large number of developers. C++ has more mature compilers, libraries, and knowledge overall. Choosing the right language is best determined by the goal of the project and how familiar existing teams are already with C++ and Rust. Rust is a great choice for those who need strong memory safety and want to use a more modern language.
