The point of Rust is that your mediocre C++ developers won't be able to write some kinds of bad code patterns with it, since it won't compile. The problem is that most likely those mediocre C++ developers won't be able to write any Rust at all. If you do have good C++ developers, you're also probably better off sticking to well-established and battle-proven C++. So the use case for Rust remains niche. It's a way to attract the programming language nerd that knows more about Haskell than he does about systems programming. Maybe not exactly the best fit? But worth trying if you want to differentiate yourself from the competition.
