C++ seems easier to work with, tools for C++ are plenty and more mature, so if productivity and speed of development matters, those are good reasons to use C++.

- Deukhoofd 3y agoWhile I can imagine that familiarity with tooling can be a massive boon, I have to say I tend to pick Rust over C++ for the exact opposite reason. I find Rusts tooling a lot easier to use than the C++ tooling. Clear compiler messages showing what's wrong, far easier error handling and logging, and far easier dependency handling through cargo. On the other hand there's of course the borrow checker which means you need to think a bit more about how you do your lifetimes, which can slow you down a bit, but I find that that prevents me from writing bugs more often than not.
