wonder when Rust will saturate it's niche as a C/C++ replacement, I'd guess 3-6 years would be when we might start to see some stabilization.

I think it will take much longer than that. There is so much legacy C++ code. Maybe 10-15 years.

What exactly do you mean with stabilization? Rust itself is pretty stable already.

In this context, stabilization refers to the adoption growth curve flattening out.
