I think so? Modern c++ (c++11) came 13 years after c++98. Rust has been released for close to or longer than that depending on your definition of released.

Note that while C++98, the first standard came out in 1998, the first public release of C++ was in 1985, so it's more like 26 years
Yeah, I remember looking at C++ sometime in the 80s. If memory does not evade me I think it was preprocessor back then.
