I'm always extremely skeptical when I see people claim C++ is easier than Rust. Rust essentially just makes you default to good practices in modern C++ and forces you to be explicit about things like copying data, allocating on the heap, etc. If C++ feels easier, it's because you either already know it and you're comparing it to something you don't know, or it's because your C++ code is actually very different than your Rust code (lots of heap allocations and copies vs. lots of stack allocations and moves), or it's because your C++ code has a lot of bugs that you haven't encountered yet.
