Rico Mariani gives his opinions on the future of system programming languages.
His main point is that C++ with EH introduces too much bloat; that the opaque error handling combined with no compiler assisted checking hides bugs; and that you can't write C++ codes from "the books" since it leads to more bugs!
With Rust you can write it like in the books!
"Modern C++ has so many hazards and is so costly that I can't but view it as anything less than a total failure in the systems space. I can't begin to tell you how disappointing this is to me. "
