c++'s critical mass is more of happy accident, than anything 
(i.e. there were no serious contenders for that same market at 
the time, or for a very long time since).

Same is true for C.

Same is true for Java.

Then C# came along...

There are plenty eager to see a better c++.

I personally do not think Rust is that alternative. Why? Because 
they used computer science alone to create a new language for 
'modern times'.

Instead, they should have combined computer science with 
psychological science, and they would have come up with a better 
syntax that is less cognitively challenging (something C++ is 
working hard towards.. well..in part).
