Rust is still lacking good GUI libraries and C++ and there are lots of libraries out there written in C++. Rust is more up and coming. That said in my opinion Rust is a nicer and better language since you get cargo and a modern safe efficient language. In my opinion Cargo is great and CMake and similar tools for C++ are not nearly as nice.
Should I learn C++ or Rust?

#12Rust is enterprised focused. Not really applicable for things like game design.
You already pretty much know C++, its just C with a few extensions mostly around classes. Good C++ codebases avoid most of the stuff in C++ language anyways.

I find Clojure, Racket and F# to be nice, yet, it being nice does not help to pay your bills (most likely judging by the job openings you see at those job search sites).
But it might help you to enjoy programming again.
There are Clojure shops out there, but look at, Indeed, how many Clojure positions vs. how many regular language positions are out there?
