I prefer using a simplified subset of c++ than write rust. Meaning i just use the simple parts of c++. This rust code reads like there is a lot to learn about

  There's a lot to learn about Rust. It's very different language from pretty much any mainstream language. Even C++. But it makes it very interesting to me. So far I've seen mostly either javesque-scriptish languages or type-algebraic-for-the-sake-of-type-algebra languages. There were some oddities like we-just-write-ast or Forth. But mostly languages seemed boring and only syntactically different. Rust is high level value semantics running on bare memory kind of thing. It's meaningfully different and useful.

  I've written both C++ and Rust and I've basically settled for C++ without inheritance in all my personal projects. I think Rust made me a better C++ programmer. The problem with Rust is that even when you reach a point of understanding all the base things about the language, how traits work, generics, all the reference types, patterns like interior mutability etc, I've never gotten to a point where I can get an idea and quickly implement it in Rust. That just doesn't happen. With C++ on the other hand it is much easier to prototype, and I really need that being-able-to-quickly-prototype aspect in my workflow.
