Rust

A systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents almost all crashes, and eliminates data races. .
- Identical speed paired with safer workflow. Although it has a longer compile time, this is done so to make sure less run-time errors are possible. It has certain conventions built in to the language, which makes for better coding standards and for less flame wars. Rust has great compiler debugging, with a dedicated "explain" function built in, as well as test cases. I would say this Rust is not only an alternative to C++, but a successor.
