It took me a little while to get my system down, but once I'd figured out how to build and call in Rust libraries using CMake and the the C ABI, I do my best to write as little raw C++ as I can. Using the Rust test framework, limiting direct memory management to the low number of unsafe functions I need to pass raw data/pointers across that FFI boundary, being able to count on the compiler to check if I'm doing something dumb, and being able to easily add other dependencies into that Rust .so/.a file product Cargo have all been huge productivity boosts compared to pulling out valgrind/gdb whenever I run into a segfault because I've done something stupid.
