Wikipedia says C++ and Rust first appeared in ‘85 and ‘10 respectively. Therefore C++98 is a 13 year old version of C++ and Rust today is about 10 years old. It’s entirely possible that Wikipedia uses “first appeared” to mean different things in either article, but I’m assuming (rightly or wrongly) that they aren’t doing that.



The inception of C++ programming language began in 1979 when Bjarne Stroustrup was working in his Ph.D. thesis.
