Im in a similar position to you. My manager loves rust, so Im fortunate... Weve been developing new tools in rust. Some greybeards actively oppose it though. Im not asking for rewrites but at least new stuff should be written with more modern tools. Rust aint perfect but its hell of a lot better than C++ and CMake magic. My experience has been we can build features far faster with rust than C++ and we deal with legitemate bugs not "which idiot forgot to check the bounds of this array?". I think the biggest pitfall for rust howver is its difficulty in interoping with C++ and the unstable ABI (given how much the robotics community love C++ plugins...).
