Ultimately, the core argument for Rust isn't technical; there's nothing one can do in Rust that can't also be done in C/C++. From the point of view a single experienced C dev Rust might look like an overcomplexification. The real gain Rust brings is in the social dynamics of programming. Junior coders can be involved with low-level code with much less chances of breaking stuff. Seniors can push the envelope further while keeping the code maintainable by future contributors. In general, Rust sets a much more level playing field. This is a major advantage for any long lived project but it can be hard to see it if you're already set in the ways of C and unconcerned about the lifecycle of code outside of your hands.
