I do not know what benchmark you are using as comparison as generally C++ is faster than C due to the optimizations afforded by templates.

Modern C++ and Rust are quite on par with one another, both performance-wise and safety-wise. And if a C++ developer tells me they "hate modern C++" I lose all respect for them whatsoever.

I feel like the resistance pulled by the Linux Kernel maintainers stems from ignorance of what Rust does, just like it was the case for C++ long ago. They are trapped in a bubble where they practice between 1 and 3 languages between C, bash and Python and do not have the capacity to currently work with Rust, and feel shoehorned into reviewing code they do not understand well enough
