Wondering why use Rust other than C++

Why use C++?

So C++ users don't need to learn something new.

The recommendation from the security agencies is to prefer Rust over C++ as less risk of exploits.

Checked and Lama.cpp used C++ (obviously) and Llama uses Go.

Why use C++ for greenfield projects?

...or D? or Go? or Java? C#? Zig? etc they chose what they were most comfortable with. Rust is fine, it's not for everyone clearly, but those who use it produce high quality software, I would argue similar with Go, without all the unnecessary mental overhead of C or C++
