The way I think about it is that Rust exposes all the hard stuff that's hidden in C++. C++ makes things look simpler than they are and eventually you end up in one nightmare scenario after another, because of all the hidden complexity. Rust just shoves all that complexity to the forefront, right in your face, so that you are forced to deal with it and don't end up in nightmare land later.
