Don't get me wrong -- I agree Rust has some footguns. And I had high hopes for the 2021 Edition to introduce some terser syntax here and there but alas, not happening. I am not fangirling for Rust at all. I am saying that it's much easier to make costly mistakes in C and legacy C++. I am aware of the modern efforts in C++ but they don't help with the literal mountains of legacy code that has to be maintained out there...
