The whole premise is wrong, since it’s based on the presumption of C++ and Rust being effectively generational siblings, with the C++ “designers” (charitable) having the option to take the Rust route (in the superficial narrow aspects covered), but choosing not to do so. When the reality is that C++ was the intellectual pollution product of “next C” and OOP overhype from that era (late 80’s/ early 90’s), resulting in the “C with classes” moniker.
The lack of both history (and/or evolution) and paradigm talk is telling.
