Fair point. It's a relatively recent thing, though, and even with the reduced footprint I think it and the GC at least would still make its use difficult at best for some of C/C++'s remaining niches.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if it (and similar capabilities from Graal, etc.) grabbed yet more market share due to making those languages more viable where they historically had not been.
