Rust isn't a one true language, no one necessarily needs to learn it, and I'm sure your preffered language is excellent. C and C++ are critical languages with legitimate advantages and use cases. Don't learn Rust of you aren't interested.

But Rust, its community, and language flame wars are separate concerns. When I talk shop with other Rust people, we talk about our projects, not about hating C++.
