What exactly do you take offense with? I do have experience using both C and Rust. Arguably, my C++ is very limited but things like C++ being a relatively larg

  There is no disagreement on what "subset of C++" is best: anywhere you have a choice, use the newest method supported on your compiler, because nothing is added to the language without compelling reasons. It is true that some people resist using anything introduced since they first learned, with a few mired in C. But there is never any need to "agree" on that. "Bigger binary" is scurrilous propaganda. Compilers nowadays use the same code generator for C and C++: say the same thing, get the same code. Furthermore, optimizers have to guess less at you are trying to do, in C++, so can do a better job. C++ code for the same task is often smaller. "C programmers often care more about building the best possible software": this is just crude slander. Finally: "Rust has much better safety guarantees": C++ offers much the same guarantees, where you choose to exercise them.
