Today, I think it comes down to what you want to build and what dependencies or SDKs (if any) that requires. If you want to build something greenfield with simple dependencies, I would go Rust. However, if you want to build something that depends on existing software, there's a good chance that you're going to have an easier time today doing that with C++ due to its dominant ecosystem.

For example, one of my products embeds Chromium (via CEF), which itself is a huge C++ project. I'm interested in working with Rust, but it's simpler for me to just use C++ rather than working against the grain.
