Back to the Future: Rust, Zig, and the New Age of C++ Alternatives
Speakers: Charlie L & Jose Rodriguez Salinas
This talk explores why the software industry is seeking alternatives to C++, a language foundational to many tools like Node.js, V8, and Java but challenging to maintain. We’ll discuss modern languages like Rust, Zig, Swift, and the emerging Carbon and Cpp2. We’ll also debunk the misconception that Go was ever a replacement for C++, highlighting the role of interoperability and incremental adoption in shaping the future of system programming
