Not disagreeing with you, but have you ever tried both C++ and Rust? You shouldn't call recommending Rust over C++ brainwashing unless you know both languages, really.

Yes, I tried both the languages. Rust is too early to call for this much level of preaching that it gets on stackoverflow. Same with Go lang. It's the fanboyish approach I hate because people are using those surveys as if it's reality, which it's not.

I certainly would not recommend using Rust in all situations, but maturing the language will only improve as more and more people start to use it.

The thing is Rust and Go are yet to be matured to be adopted like say React in javascript. Do we see Rust being adopted by Intel to make all those performance and adoption claims? yet stackoverflow surveys are being quoted as if it's credible IEEE journal. That's my issue with stackoverflow, its like cult using their own propaganda on programming community.
