Oh I see, this is a fantasy.

Keyword is "sane". You can probably count all "sane greenfield C++ startups" on one hand.

The Rust people pursue "solidarity" as a virtue. They don't understand that factions is a way of life, so any sufficiently impactful technology will be "fractured" to some extent. This is a good thing. Unitarity, solidarity, homogenous philosophies—are not, but they would have to learn it the hard way like everybody else.
