I will say this for C++: post C++11, it’s one of the few languages in widespread use to have an explicitly defined memory model. The people working on C++ definitely do care about concurrency and parallelism. I’d still choose Rust over C++ for that kind of program any time I was given the choice, though. =)

Absolutely, I'm not saying they don't care; it's that solving that problem is an explicit non-goal of the GSL work. The C++ committee is clearly working on concurrency related things, I was reading the various coroutines TSes recently in fact, as we're working on similar things in Rust.
