I was also thinking the same thing after glancing at the table of contents. I remember working with C++ while studying at grad school with instructions by two professors who quite loved the language. Even though I enjoyed the language and its STL very much, the mess of its build system and linking to other libraries is what comes to my mind whenever I think about C++. This is exactly why I never touched it again. Cargo does a fantastic job for Rust in this regard. Rust won me over.
