On a long enough timeline, neither is Rust probably, but such is the price of innovation.

It is always so weird to me that people literally seem to believe that complex inventions like programming languages are something we got to perfection within 20 (in C's case) or 30 (in C++'s case) years of the advent of our industry. Especially considering an iteration cycle is somewhere in the decade or longer range for these. I would expect this to improve for at least a couple of hundred years before we reach the point where nothing new can be added to existing programming languages that is worth starting over with a new language to reap the benefits.
