I don't think cpp programmers will use a package manager written in rust.

Just delete the last three words, then it fits.
I think most c++ programmers would use a package manager if it was sane (and their org allowed them).

For my personal projects in c++, if a particular library isn't available via vcpkg I categorically refuse to add it as a dep.

If vcpkg was written in rust, python, or brainfuck it wouldn't matter to me. I actually have no idea what language it's implemented in, and don't care.

Why not? Do people really care about implementation language that much? Would they even notice if they installed with apt or whatever?
conan was written in python. so, why not rust?
