I'm using C++ daily at work and know Rust since it's alpha versions. C++ is miles harder to learn and write in than Rust, partially because of layers of legacy cruft in the standard, some bad decisions made that they can't undo now so they will stay forever (e.g., 50+ ways to initialise an instance, with constructors and all that, vs. Rust's lack of ctors). I still reach for reference all the time when writing in C++, but barely if at all when writing in Rust.
