I tried rust on and off, since I do not need it for work I never had time to fully dive into it. The news about rust on the web just seems too good to be true, are there any "cons" against modern c++?

yes the cargo and tools etc are great, but I can set up a full c++ build env quickly too, not as good but enough for daily coding.

[spoiler]

A big con is that the ecosystem is young still. You can generally find stuff for almost anything at this point (even enterprisey stuff like OData client generators), but they're not "established" the same way their C++ equivalents would be.

GUI and Game dev spaces in Rust are very inovativne and in how they solve some problems, and I'm fairly enthusiastic about both spaces, but I'd be reluctant to recommend them for production, because they're still immature/developing compared to anything in C++
