Why program greenfield in C++? I know "made with rust" is a meme but seriously, why not a memory safe language in 2026?

DuckDB has been around since 2018. Naturally its offspring use C++.

Rust has been out since 2010. It already was rated "most-loved" by 2016. Systems programmers had adopted it by 2018.
