C++ makes things very hard to reason about still compared to Rust even. C++ programmers are bike shed machines in my experience, always chasing their own ideal of pedantic C++ which does not exist in practice.

How would C++ features like RTTI, exceptions, and the std template library be used? What about the insane ideas of classes and inheritance which induce mind numbing impossible to comprehend code?

Rust is actually pretty readable and reviewable. C++ tends to be mind numbingly hard to review.
