If you’re building a large complex app that needs to be shared across multiple platforms, C++ is a common choice. Not talking about games here, think Office, Facebook, Zoom, WebEx etc. It easy to see Rust replacing C++ in that stack.

But as Rust is so much nicer that C++, I could see it becoming popular for smaller projects that want to share common logic, with a native UI on top.
