There is plenty I can say and do in C++ that cannot be said at all in Rust. Rust is adding complexity very quickly, but has a very long way to go to match C++'s expressive power. In some ways, it never will match C++, having permanently closed off those avenues.

You will know Rust is beginning to catch up when people complain about it as much as C++.

Not everybody needs the expressive power of C++. Certainly most Java, Go, and C coders who have no inkling of most of what I rely on C++ for, or even for what many rely on Rust for. But for those of us who do, there is simply no contest. Nothing else will do.
