I confess I do find C++, warts and all, more expressive than Rust. There are little conveniences in Rust like switch / if being expressions and the ? operator, but the gimped Templates and refusal to do Implicit Conversion wind up littering boilerplate everywhere. I do somewhat prefer the way its standard library handles iterators, though.
