I don't know about Rust, but Go most certainly did.

It's WAY easier to write exception safe code in C++ than in Go, because C++ has RAII and scoped defers.

See my example for what a mess Go makes of this in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25276360

I find C++ exception safe code to be pretty much trivial. Once you get used to "no naked resources" RAII just makes everything exception safe automatically.
