I completely agree with you, I'm programming in C++ in my job and I've dabbled in Rust a bit. The issues in C++ are 90% ones that you wouldn't have in Rust

However my reply to the higher up comment was because you can't switch every project away from C++. I think it's a good idea to start most projects where you would have picked C++ in Rust now, just that it's infeasible for a lot of code, given the mountains of code that exist in C++.

Also plenty of code needs certifications that just don't exist for Rust yet.

So saying C++ is an anti-pattern is kind of correct, but it doesn't help you if you have to deal with it.
