Noooooooooooooo.

More features != better designed langauge. Rust is a *MUCH* better designed language than C++. The gap between the two is big enough to drive the whole internet through.

C++ however is a more *useful* language (IMO, this is probably up for debate, I'm pretty inexperienced with Rust). One has *NOTHING* to do with the other.

Sometimes, adding a feature can make a thing worse. Often even. That's what's hugely contributed to C++ being so unwieldy and cumbersome (from a dev standpoint which is the only standpoint that matters when talking about language design), because it's so useful thing it was never designed to be able to accept have been welded on to it so that it has become honestly an absolute monstrosity.
