It's honestly unfortunate that rust has been sold so hard on memory safety, so that when C++ folk don't spend tons of time in memory issues they think rust is pointless.

I don't want rust for memory safety. I want it for things like proc macros, a sane module system, a good and accepted error handling system, destructive move, constrained generics, unified static and dynamic polymorphism, language level customization points, and many more things.
