Look, I even share your language preference but this is still unnecessary.

Are there really any good reasons to start a brand new project in c++ though? No one who can write modern c++ has any trouble with rust in my experience, and all the other common options are even quicker to pick up. Creating bindings isn't hard anymore if your niche library doesn't have any yet. Syntactic preference I guess, but neither c++ or rust are generally considered elegant or aesthetic choices.
