Definitely. I’ve worked professionally in both. They both have a time and place. I’d be fine with moving all the low level stuff to Rust, but transitions don’t happen by decree so C/C++ will be around for the next 100 years too.

True that, I’m only at the beginning of my programming journey, so I have a very rough understanding of the differences, pros/cons, and best use cases for various languages.
