Is it because of developers moving to Rust or Go?

I did C++ for 25 years, C for 30, I moved to Rust for my primary language.

EDIT: I don’t think the issue is the C++ devs are running out though, I think their issue is this:

a crypto trading tools developer

Most devs of intellect will avoid things like that like the plague. Their issue is running out of devs that haven’t figured that out yet.

Wow, I learned C/C++ at first before I moved on to C#. I really look up to C/C++ developers, since I know that working with those languages, you really need to be a good and disciplined programmer.
