Rust is CLEARLY better at safety than C++. Stop seeking validation for that. Everyone who knows about Rust is convinced. I'm sorry it must be frustrating talking to someone emotionally disinterested about the whole thing. I've just been thinking about C++'s advantage in that particular instance from a software architecture point of view and you kind of failed to persuade me otherwise.
That being said, Rust is definitely a language I will continue to study. I have no doubt it's making me a better programmer.
EDIT: I find it funny that I'm always defending C++ here. C++ is like that kid at school who's not really your friend but you always get stuck doing project with. You end up spending a lot of time with him, so when the time comes that you hear someone talk bad about him you feel obligated to point out that he's a actually pretty alright dude.
