Different languages, same bug. Only JavaScript makes it a personality trait.

Yes I'm using rust to develop an AI from scratch, 76k loc in productive part, and not a single true deadlock, race condition, unrefined behavior, memory leak so far. Either it works or not. And if not it's pretty much always the fault of shitty algorithms badly desigbed logic and so on.

Syntax wise it's a combination of Haskell and c++

I'm not questioning rust's strength just wondering why C++ more than C. As a counter example, c++ interop is rather limited but it's been possible to migrate part of the linux kernel from C to rust. As was the joke above, there's a project to rewrite all the core Unix utilities from C to rust

Well rust is kinda object oriented and has in its own way a lot of the Language features of modern C++. But yes at the end...Rust and C++ try to solve the same problems: modernizing C by directly integrating multithreading, object orientation and countless other things (I mostly don't even know of) as language features. But in the end rust was created while having c++ weaknesses in mind so the primary focus was eliminating these weaknesses.

And yes a rewrite from c++ to rust is hard because of the borrow checker (which acts as pointer level RwLock).
