IOW: be conservative (in your decisions) and move like a tankship and not like a speedboat. Old is good. NASA does this too, AFAIK. They use conservative/old tech that has stood the test of time. (Lindy effect?)

That's the reason I won't switch to Rust from C++. I wait until it is matured enough and standardized. (Also, I wait until it makes C++ less relevant. It hasn't so far.)

C++ does the job. There's no perfect language or other technology. Many things have pros and cons.

Naval Ravikant also shares this sentiment, as far as I am aware.
