I’ll remark that _both_ of them have a very different aesthetic from Python, Golang & C, all of which aim for a certain simplicity of syntactic structure, whilst Rust and C++ both go for “power through the type system”. If you want a language that shares that aesthetic, you might be better off looking at JavaScript.

As others have remarked, there’s a lot more C++ gigs out there. I don’t think knowing C is actually much of an advantage to learning C++ though, the idioms and libraries are too different. Personally, I like Rust, it’s got a great community and the language feels “next-gen” in a way C++ never will.
