> I don't deny that some modern C++ constructs help

This thread started because you essentially denied these constructs have any significance, as you lumped the two languages together. You are still overstating your point.

Moreover - Rust has different design goals than any of these two languages. Indeed, neither of them guarantees memory safety at the language level; Rust makes different tradeoffs, paid a certain price, and does guarantee it. I will watch that video though.
