@pinskia @crazyeddie @lina The difference is that in Rust the compiler bugs you to actually adopt the latest best practices with varying degrees of insistence and helpfulness, while in C++ you can go for 20 years without ever even hearing about them.

And if you do hear about them chances are that at least one of the developers of the code base is an old curmudgeon who doesn't like the syntax for new features and so you are stuck with (a subset of) C++98.
