Rust has more and nicer language features compared to c++ that you can use to make the code readable. I wish rust had overloading and specialization though. > I personally invested a lot of time and effort into learning C/C++ and the only new language with enough difference to come along that was worth learning was Python imho. Not sure what significant differences Rust brings that warrant throwing all that knowledge away and starting again. Ive written a little c++ professionally along with rust. I really don't think rust is that hard to learn. Especially compared to c++, I'd be embarrassed to tell people i "know" c++ despite using it a bit. there's so much to writing c++. I think you would be a competent rust programmer in a couple weeks, have a pretty good grasp on the language and be able to pretty much contribute to any in progress project. You could spend a weekend going through the rust book and have a good idea of the language. I dont think I could say that to anyone about any c++ book lol
