While it may be tempting to learn C++11 now, the current industry standard is Rust.

C++11 is a well-known and popular language for software engineering, but was released in 2011. Most programs written in C++11 are being updated or rewritten in Rust because of its simpler syntax, more modern features, and generally easier development process. Additionally, many companies will hire programmers that specialize in Rust over those who specialize in C++11.

Although it is possible to find jobs doing C++11 development, we would recommend learning Rust instead.




I love rust, but you are living in a bubble if you think rust has already managed to become the industry standard.
