How do langs become deadlangs?
When will we get a new BIG language that becomes adopted by everyone.
When will we get a lang that fills the C/C++ niche and doesn't end as deadlang?

>How do langs become deadlangs?
All software needs constant development or improvement or it fizzles and dies. Languages also need an active community to write libraries, tooling etc. so without this they also fizzle and die.
>When will we get a new BIG language that becomes adopted by everyone.
Given Python and JavaScript, we probably expect a new big language every 10-20 years.
>When will we get a lang that fills the C/C++ niche and doesn't end as deadlang?
A very long time, I guess 20-30 years. With modern hardware there is just so much complexity and edge cases, and optimizing for performance is so hard, that you need a huge community to compete with GCC/clang, and both these are for the same language family.
There is a lot of interesting work going on with novel hardware (GPUs etc.) for things like machine learning. But the low level code is still written in C/C++.

Possibly when we get a language that actually fills niche and is better not just advertised as doing these things. There hasn't been a language introduced yet that does that, only a theoretical subset of it.

>fills the C/C++ niche and doesn't end as deadlang
it's called rust

They become useful and widely used and therefore not the new hotness anymore. So programmers, who have the attention span of squirrels on crack, invent some new meme language to play with for a while. Then eventually that becomes old hat and the cycle starts over again.

That's literally a deadlang. It's as dead as the pee pee you had to chop off to join the mailing list
Joseph Rivera
Rust? More like JUST
Benjamin Price
That does not fill the niche of either language at all. Its gets completely btfo by c++ and only partly covers what c is used for. Its also a much worse language than either and doesn't bring anything worthwhile as incentive. The only thing rust had going for it was a tiny amount of nolife shills spamming everything constantly.

How is a garbage collected language supposed to replace C/C++ when it doesn't even have a stack?
Mason Rogers
Just being vigilant. Can never be too careful these days.

No benefits to rust? A c-shill cleverly trying to masquerade as an user against rust-shills.
Amazon loves rust right now user, just look at firecracker. It's getting much bigger.
Lucas Allen
Anything that is written in Rust today will be rewritten in C/C++ or Python/JS tomorrow
Same as Go, same as D, same as Haskell
Levi Hill
every high level language that isnt C or C++ is made in C or C++ or is just feeding into a C/C++ library(LLVM)
rust is yet-another meme language that pipes its IR into LLVM and fights for relevance on social media
Jackson King
Rust fags don't understand one thing: APIs and SDKs drive language adoption.
People use C because of Unix, and OpenGL, and Win32. People use C++ because of Qt, because of DirectX and other Microsoft shit. People use C# because of Unity, and so on.
The only way you could promote Rust would be to develop some new technology (maybe in VR or machine learning or whatever) and make the API/SDK in Rust. Otherwise people will just stick with C++ and C. So far no challenger has appeared, except maybe for shader languages, but they're actually domain-specific subsets of C/C++.
If you could beat C++ just by being a bit nicer, D would have replaced C++ already (in fact D is actually closer to C++ than Rust is).
Robert Anderson
literally 90% of all rust crates are just wrappers around C libraries man what the fuck lol why does rust need 'unsafe' to get any real fucking work done lmao
really makes you think

And it's telling how parasitic Rust is when they mostly talk about bindings to C++ libraries, as if this was going to convince C++ developers to migrate (pro tip: it won't).
Maybe write a kick ass database or GUI framework in Rust and people will come. Obviously it's harder than talking about your feminine penis on Twitter.
Joseph Rodriguez
Literally nobody has heard of Rust outside of Jow Forums, it is a pure hype 100% internet meme 0% usable in real world success story wannabe

perl is a deadlang but all ourcode base is in it so we prefer to think of it as finished, complete.
Xavier Perry
C/C++ performance superiority is a meme outside of very latency sensitive applications. In most cases throughout and parallelism are what matters, and higher level languages offer better and safer abstractions for these than C/C++.
The biggest thing keeping C/C++ around is the intertia behind them in many engineering domains. The time it would take to replace them just isn’t worth the cost.
Angel Gomez
>everyone who doesn't like c likes rust
Isaac Hernandez
This. Writing actually performant code is harder than most people realize, and the language is only part of the whole picture.
Reminder that even fucking Common Lisp can be almost as fast as C.
