I was at a Bjarne Stroustrup talk 2 years ago and it was pretty embarrassing. He was dodging Rust questions all day long, giving nothing but non-answers that would make any politician proud. But perhaps "dodging" is the wrong word here; more like "being run over". He has no vision for the future of C++ besides "it's its own thing" and "everyone is already using it". His best idea is to publish a compiler preset that disables the most dangerous features.
