Discussion on: What Does C++ Do That Rust Doesn't?

Yes, but bindings are not the same as precedence. Your techniques may need to change with the language. It's like trying to use a StackOverflow question about the Qt5 library for C++ to answer a question about PySide2 for Python; same framework, different (official) bindings, differing techniques.

You are correct in observation. But does the change in technique make a language inferior than other? Rust comes with some totally new paradigms which may seem uncoventional but that's the same experience developers in 1980s and 90s must have gone through when they had first taste of C++, Java or Python. Over time these dialects established themselves as solid and reliable tools.

Rust has got same mettle, it just needs consolidated organisational backing and continued professional interest which has already begun. Microsoft, Facebook and others are already founding their research efforts on Rust or have production systems running on Rust's shoulders.
