Despite the ISO process being insanely difficult, I consider it and the people that make it happen C++ greatest strength. Will the creators of Rust and Go be as dedicated as Bjarne has with C++? Are they prepared to support and improve it for the rest of their lives? Oh wait, Gaydon is working on Swift now, sorry Rust people. Rob Pike also has a history of giving up and starting fresh, though he has been pretty dedicated to Go.

In other words, I'm confident if I write my code in C++ today, it will work in the next 30 years, while I can't say the same for Rust or Go.

Just an update. Rust's governance model looks pretty solid and I'm confident it could survive. What is unclear to me is the sponsorship and who the Rust Team is. What is clear is that C++'s process has proven it works over long periods. I think Rust's has many elements of that.
