NO WAY is C++ harder to learn than Rust I've been programming C++ for 16 years, it's the main language at my day job, and I won't even begin to think I understand templates. But you'll see codebases that use it regularly. Const correctness? rvalue vs lvalue? ODR? SFINAE? RVO? exception safe code? template argument deduction? Then you have C++11, C++14, C++17... Despite this, I still regularly write code that has memory, string, concurrency and bounds bugs. So does everyone else in the industry, including smarter people with more experience. It's possible that the parts of Rust I'm not familiar with (e.g. unsafe code, macro system) turn out to be similar sinkholes, but so far, that doesn't seem to be the case.
