I’m not a programmer (or just a beginner one)
So just wanted to know if it is possible and will happen in the near future. Isn’t C/C++ decades old and has some good amount of limitations?

    Does C/C++ have limitations? Not really. Rust has language features that make certain concepts easier to write, and the compiler is very protective, but all three languages can express (basically) the same things. C, may live forever because there are certain spaces where it is practically the only viable option.

    Rust will definitely have to reach industry standard before it becomes an educational language. As Rust gets adoption in high-end infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Meta, etc.) and the Linux kernel, education might start picking it up. Linux code doesn’t allow C++, only C, but is exploring Rust. This is a good sign for Rust.

      I more or less agree with The Kaffe’s statement here, though I would like to add that, at least for the time being, rust has slightly lower execution speed, and a longer compile time.
