Thanks! To be clear, I do very much want C and C++ programmers to be using Rust as well, I just think there's a lot of opportunity in the "new to systems" group. They're also just my group of people, so I find it easier to pitch things to them. I can talk about anything Ruby at any level with a Ruby person, but I first picked up C++ in the late 90s, and hadn't been active in systems-level stuff for a long time when I came to Rust, so I'm a bit removed from feeling their pains directly.
