The thing it nails is that mediocre programmers (like me) can easily understand and reason about source code written by others. In the C++ world, this can be very hard and thus time consuming. Go on the other hand let's me focus on the business value as opposed to becoming a language lawyer.

True until the code blows up to extraordinary sizes because of lack of expressive features.

Rust code is incredibly easy to understand. Far, far easier than C++ in my opinion.
