Still, C++ is good enough for the unsafe low level bindings of a Java/.NET application.
Until Rust's tooling catches up with C++/CLI, C++/CX, C++/WinRT + .NET or Java + C++ (Eclipse/Netbeans/Oracle Studio), CUDA, Unreal/Unity, GLSL/HLSL/Metal Shaders allow for, it will stay as a safe way to write CLI apps and a couple of UNIX libs.
I like the language and advocate it often, but I am also very pragmatic regarding the areas I and customers work on.
