The main problem I had when I tried to learn C++ was getting started with the build system. I could compile a single source file easily enough but adding others, and especially integrating with 3rd party libraries was difficult. And there was extra pain if I wanted it to work portably across platforms. Whereas with Rust, building is a simple `cargo build`. And integrating libraries is as simple as adding a line to the manifest file. The borrow checker wasn't trivial to learn, but I could at least bash my head against the compiler, and be pretty sure that once it compiled my code was correct. With C++ it is much harder to get that feedback while learning as it's very easy to compile something that segfaults, crashes, or has Undefined Behaviour.
