I (re)wrote a < 1kloc program in it from C++ and I found that it had its good and bad parts, like everything.

But there’s too much overlap with C++ and not enough projects. IMO Rust has proven that it can survive, but by far hasn’t reached enough popularity to justify a switch and keeping two complex yet similar languages in ones head is unwise. So I’d rather focus on Go and Python which actually bring something complementary to the table.

I guess I had the benefit of not having the C++ experience baggage (mostly C and Python) ;)
