> I’ve worked in dozens of languages in my career, and with few exceptions most modern, procedural languages (C++, Go, Python, Java, etc.) all very similar in terms of their basic concepts. Each language has its differences but usually it’s a matter of learning a few key patterns that differ across languages and then one can be productive pretty quickly. With Rust, though, one needs to learn entirely new ideas I'd argue C++ is not anywhere easier, if you are using its features or need to analyze the code that does. It won't be anywhere quick.
