There's always someone willing to write COBOL for the right premium.
I'm working on Rust projects, so I may have incomplete picture, but I'm from what I see when devs have a choice, they prefer working with Rust over C++ (if not due to the language, at least due to the build tooling).
Writing C++ is easier than writing Rust. But writing safe multithreaded code in C++?
I don't want to write multithreaded C++ at all unless I explicitly want a new hole in my foot. Rust I barely have any experience with, but it might be less frustrating than that.
