All the following statements can live without colliding.

- The current CPP version is extremely bloated

- CPP is not going away anytime soon

- The rise of Rust/Go/Zig is not fighting for CPP's seat

- You can target CPP code using any of these aforementioned languages

- Rust has never claimed to be "safer", it just makes it harder to write unsafe code





> Rust/Go/Zig are not fighting for C++'s seat

Of course they are. Go less so, and Zig is really aiming for C. Rust is definitely meant to be a better alternative to C++.

> Rust has never claimed to be "safer"...

What? Of course it has (or Rust developers have; a language can't claim anything). And it is much safer.
