Ask HN: Learn C++11 or Rust in 2022?
&gt; I see a lot of criticism&#x2F;hate of C++ lately (mostly due to the comittee), but the tooling and libraries are there for multiple areas.<p>I like C++ and my main caveat is that you don&#x27;t just write C++. You also have to get good at tools like Valgrind and develop a deep intuition and understanding of what the language does under the hood. That&#x27;s going to require a significant time investment and some people just don&#x27;t have the right energy for it.<p>Nowadays the only reason I would learn C++ instead of Rust would be if I wanted to benefit from the much bigger C++ ecosystem, for example to build a game engine from scratch.
