Two Years with Rust
&gt; It&#x27;s been over 10 years since I last worked with C++ every day, and I&#x27;m nowhere near being a competent C++ programmer anymore. Part of that is because C++ has evolved, which is a very good thing. Part of it is because C++ is huge. From a decade away, it seems hard to be a competent part-time C++ programmer: you need to be fully immersed, or you&#x27;ll never fit the whole thing in your head.<p>This is really true. I have worked with C++ for 15&#x2F;20 years, reading and studying everything I could.<p>I&#x27;ve reached a good competence but every time I stopped for a while I immediately fell behind.<p>C++ is a difficult beast.
