Rust vs. C++/Qt complete ecosystem?

Post by akditer » Wed, Jan 03, 2018, 10:07 PM UTC

Hi All,

I am an immigrant in Europe. I am pretty good in C++14/CMake/Boost library. I have also worked in Qt. For my better future, what should I choose ? Should I build expertise in C++/Qt or should I learn Rust ?

I don't have a lot of time, because I also have to learn German.

I love Rust and use it for my personal projects.

But for the next few years, C++ seems like a clear winner for maximizing career opportunities. The ecosystem is already mature and you'll find plenty of existing job listings in Germany.
