One I don't see mentioned here is market. There are far more c++ developers out there. Whether you're writing a library that someone else will be using, or you want to hire people (or have people contribute), c++ is a much larger "market". This doesn't mean I'm necessarily advocating for c++ or rust, but c++ definitely has advantages over rust, even if they're not just intrinsic.

Rust has good FFI with C++ meaning that you can write Rust libraries that are consumed by C++ programs. C++ developers understand all of the concepts needed to easily pick up Rust. As long as it's not a quick project that will be immediately thrown away getting C++ to use Rust will be worth it.

  Rust has good FFI with C, and do does C++. The Rust <-> C++ FFI experience is still a bit rough.

    even C++ <-> C++ is rough as soon as you're dealing with object code...
