   I suppose this answers my question of what place C++ has.
   
   C++ is a chore to set up manually but is very practical for efficient, sorta low-level code that really doesn't need inefficiencies or bloat. Things like mathematical calculations.
   C# is for when you damn well know you're not going to escape the Microsoft Windows hellscape, maybe you want to make programs explicitly for that platform.
   Rust, I guess, would be the modern-ish alternative to C++/C# in the sense that sure, it's probably gonna be more bloated and somewhat less efficient, but under modern-day expectations of deploying it on computers and software of today, for more complex programs it'll make sense.
   
   Hell, you could even mix and match some programming languages, too. C++ with Rust/Java and whatnot.

     @atlas i mean of course C# is easaier than C++ on windows tho, windows actively pushes EVERY language towards C#

     I wrote a C++ program in C# classes out of spite.
     It went well.
