As a full time c++ developer that just started a rust side project (with rocket.rs) to learn the language, I fully disagree. Coding is actually fun again, and it is becoming increasing harder to code c++ at my job. I constantly get reminded that gb free languages can do better. Damn rust, you ruined c++ for me :(

Edit: Ok maybe a bit dramatic, but I really hoped we would get working modules with c++17 and here we are still years away...
