I would say the question isn't really whether something will "kill" c++ in the near term. The question is whether there are alternatives that can become viable ways to do certain kinds of programming. If so, then some of these alternatives may at some point replace c++. In the meantime, it's sufficient if a community can grow around something like rust that keeps it going and evolving into the future.
