Not really. Many other mainstream languages give you memory safety, strict type systems and overall robustness without having to deal with memory management or low-level details. Even for parallelism this holds true. I would say it is even more pronounced there, in fact. Some high-level languages even come with simple, effective ways of doing parallelism without multithreading, which simplifies problems a lot. Of course, they may not reach the top performance that C++ or Rust might, but that is the trade off. Performance vs. development cost.
