That day might never come. Good things of rust will eventually make their way into newer C++ standards. The industry largely depends on C/C++, and switch to other languages is getting out of the comfort zone.
You might get some of the good stuff, but you won't get its killer feature, robustness, without sacrificing backwards compatibility. And that's not going to happen.
Eventually we have to move on to more robust programming languages where null pointers and pointers to freed memory are not allowed.
