I don't know it's the future. I was writing C and C++ when everyone was yelling that Go would replace them. I am still writing a lot of C and C++ while people yell that Rust will replace it. Chances are when Zig/Nim/Pony becomes the new hotness, I will still be writing a lot of C and C++.

Beyond Rust, Apple has swift, Google is working on "Carbon," and there's a ton of active work on improving the safety of C++. The future is exciting, but there is a lot more than just Rust in it.
