Ask HN: Why would you ever use C++ for a new project over Rust?
5 by rbnsl | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Was having this debate with a coworker recently who’s a Rust fanatic and prior C++ eng; he said the tooling and support has gotten so good you would just be shooting yourself in the foot if you ever started something new on C++. I wasn’t convinced but is this really the case? Like if you had equal skill in both, is there ever a case for doing a project in C++ (outside of being forced by the platform you’re working on or anything outside your control)?
