"Lowkey, I've been feeling like C/C++ is still the king, but the noobs keep telling me about Rust and other newbies. But is it really a threat? Can C/C++ continue to innovate and dominate or is it time to start rust-ing in peace?"
Honestly, C/C++ will always have its place in systems programming due to its raw performance and control. But I think it's time for the industry to transition towards safer alternatives like Rust or even languages like Zig that prioritize memory safety without sacrificing performance. C/C++ is still king in certain circles, but its dominance is indeed waning.
Honestly, I don't see C/C++ going anywhere anytime soon, especially in systems programming and high-performance applications. The language's raw power and flexibility just can't be beat, even with the rise of Rust and other alternatives. It's still a go-to choice for many industries.
