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

I have never had any issues with the "unsafe" memory management of C++. Rust advocates make it sound like every C++ application does nothing but crashes and leaks. Of course that's not the case. With RAII and smart pointers memory management is a non-issue.

Fuchsia supports C++ fully. Rust - not so much. This is one example of the ecosystem problem.

I'm not saying Rust doesn't have the features it has. They are just not that valuable FOR ME.
