In a reply to tszzl, gandamuml argues Rust is "the idealism of the young," while C++ wins any competition thanks to faster compile times and higher-rate testing/evaluation. He adds there's even more ugliness in C++ than critics say, and writing "C/C++" signals to those who know while getting screamed at by the majority.
A classic language-choice clash centered on one thesis: engineering iteration speed beats language purity.
