It doesn't seem possible to backport pattern matching, sum types, borrow-checker, and the expression based language into C++. This kind of things really needs to be there from the start. At work we use a pretty big C++ library maintained by absolutely brilliant people, and there still are memory issues and the occasional segfault. It gets tiresome. I'm not convinced anyone can write really safe C++, whereas outside of `unsafe` it's quite easy to write safe rust.
