I agree that Rust is really good, and I plan learn it soon. But even if I agree that the language is dying, the majority of low level projects are still in C/C++, and will be for a loooong time. So to be effective in the close and even not so close future, and to understand the environment you are building over, knowing C++ is almost fundamental.

And also, it's important to learn C++ to understand what are the problems the new solutions solve, and how and when to use them in a more effective way.
