C++ programmer here. I've been tempted to use Rust in my personal projects, but I have yet to find a reason. Even in complicated stuff, I usually write C++ code (not C) that needs few iterations to be without errors. But I have good experience with C++ and concurrency...I haven't used raw pointers for example from 2006...I wrote my own smart pointer library which I used until all major compilers supported smart pointers (boost was always there as a back up). That, and the lack of OOP in Rust, has made me avoid it so far. I think Rust will shine in projects with a varying degree of experience in C++ development. It can certainly improve safety over the large programs written by large groups, because it's impossible that those large groups will be filled with extremely experienced programmers.
