There are tons of places where Rust and Zig don't have a solution, or are not part of an industry standard that builds on top of C and C++, like GPGPU, Khronos standards, console SDKs, ...

Additionally while they keep being built on top of C++ compiler infrastructure, C++ isn't going away.



Sure now that is the case. But which do you think will happen first - C++ will get working modules or people just give up on C++? Definitely not clear cut!


Visual C++ and clang already have working modules, for all pratical purposes.

Plenty of industry are stuck on C++ < ISO C++20, just like they are stuck in Python 2, Java 8, .NET Framework 4.x,...

Industry moves at snail pace adopting new languages, or versions thereof.


Why do you need modules at all for C++ to be more successful than Rust? That's the world we currently inhabit, for reference.
