I'd guess that the yearning for safety in C++ may have been what's been driving Rust development, if anything.
Rust's whole appeal to me is it takes the scattered, compiler-specific, opt-in, limited annotation-driven static analysis that I've always been retrofitting into existing C++ codebases and catching problems with... and replaced those checks with a unified, language-standard, opt-out, powerful and pervasive thing, that'll be in use from the get-go in Rust codebases.
