I don't think C nor C++ were ever great languages for prototyping? (And definitely not better than Rust.)

Please try not to be obnoxious and turn this into a language war.

How is this obnoxious?

C and C++ have their strengths, but rapid prototyping is generally not seen to be amongst them.

This shouldn't be any more controversial than saying that pure Python is generally slow.

They are pretty much the best choice for prototyping 3D apps and GPU algorithms. They're fast, powerful, and don't impose restrictions - you can do whatever and however. It also helps that CUDA is C++.
