One could argue as a counterpoint that the Rust community (and all the other language communities) have millions of person-hours (and lines of of C/C++ open source code) to reference as they RIIR, a luxury the C/C++ community didn't really have, much of what they've built since Linux appeared was developed from scratch. Outside of 386BSD, there wasn't a lot of unencumbered UNIX source code available to them.
Perhaps as the Rust community grows in size and momentum this will happen more. Right now it seems like a bit of a manpower problem.
