[Roast Me]Why I think C++ is still attractive compared to Rust

159 points LowLatencyTrading

I posted this article on /r/cpp, and initially I was not going to post on /r/rust because I thought it would be taunting the Rust community for clicks.

However, that article was written in good faith from my experience.I would genuinely like to get honest feedback from the Rust community even because my skills on the language still need to be considered professional grade.

I would be very happy if you could poke holes in the article - and I don't care if your reply is offensive as long as there is technical substance to it.

Moreover, I am now on a quest to gather fair benchmarks highlighting Rust's pros and cons. There are so many rhetorical claims that the IR generated by Rust is superior to C++. I would like to show clearly that in a future article. Looking for takers. If you wish to contribute, I'll place them in this Github repo.
