I want to expand my knowledge but don't know whether to invest in learning C++ or Rust. Both look like they have interesting concepts, but Rust is new and not yet widely used, and I hear C++ is easy to break in confusing ways. (I have cut Go out of the picture because copying and pasting code is the first thing you learn not to do in school, but all the Go leaders say you have to do this since they don't want to implement generics, so I don't trust their judgment on language design.)

C++ sucks big time when it comes to "management" - there's no official compiler, no official package manager, no package registry, no easy dependency handling. It's easy to start with sane C++ and then "oh, I need a library for X", and you just wandered into a forsaken of hell accidentally. [ https://i.imgur.com/a4CVG.jpg ]
