Rust carries the elegance of Haskel, capabilities of Scala and modern C++ and power and speed of C yet some concepts (e.g. ownership) are of its own and are unheard of in any other language. With due respect to C++ and the community around it, the question must be the other way around "what's in Rust which is not in C++"... Success of a language in modern times is a function of the depth of support by corporate houses and not just community enthusiasm...

If a language is capable, it will eventually find it place... Rust's engineering team is a world class group of language engineers not to mention the vibrant community which loves Rust and can trade anything for it.
