You seem to be presupposing that all, or much of the C/C++ written today will follow best practices and be written by "expert" programers. A portion will, perhaps even a substantial portion, but I'd be willing to wager a far larger portion of the Rust written today will follow best practices and doesn't have to be written by expert programers. This is because the safety in Rust isn't optional, like it is with C/C++ best practices/new features. |

No, the argument i am trying to make is that if someone wants safe and reliable code, it's possible to buy that in C/C++ at cheaper price than to migrate to whole new language and platform.

Yes, as you mentioned that's by design. But i don't that the metric we should be looking at : in the group of people/team/compagny who actually care about safety and performance ( and let's be honest that group is the biggest one), what proportion will be using C++ vs rust.
