That's completely valid and that's why I said "almost anything" -- other things include kernel development and embedded.

My broader point was that C/C++ are still kings in some areas but people insist on using them where a bunch of languages do better today.

Also cross-platform libraries, if you want to be everywhere, from computers and phones to set top boxes to weird Japanese rtoses you haven't even heard of, Rust just won't cut it.

Fortunately there are other languages that are more available cross-platform than Rust with its tiny Tier 1 list.

Unless ofc you're contractually obligated to use vendors half-arsed kludget together patchy version of GCC of unknown provenance that they compiled with barely half C support, let alone other GCC languages.
