Well given they don't teach C++ anymore and government agencies don't
want to use non-memory safe languages anymore then it's just a question
of a few years until it dissolves unless we're being proactive on the issue.

I think Rust is still embryonic but all it has to do is to copy the
various abstractions already made by the ISO C++ standards and popular
libraries in order to grow quickly.
