I agree that Rust is the way to go, but calling something "arguably" & "objectively" in the same breath is a bit of a paradox innit?

Well, it was more to recognize that there is no inherently better programming languages in theory, they all do the same stuff. And some languages are "better" at some stuff just due to the libraries available and nothing to do with the language itself. But yea I do think Rust is an objectively better language than C++.
