Rust has shown that it’s yet another language that kind of sort of addresses 3% of the issues c/c++ has, tops.

Probably because like 95% of C++'s issues are self-inflicted and don't need to be addressed if you use a different language in the first place, and 1% of them are fundamentally unsolvable by any language.

I really don't like C++ but it's hard to come up with thirty-odd times as many other terrible problems as the ones Rust addresses.

Do you actually know Rust or were you just talking out if hour ass? I’d like you to enumerate even thirty problems of C or C++ that Rust doesn’t fix, never mind hundreds (because Rust fixes a metric shit ton of C/C++ problems!)

lol. A functions module system that’s easy to use and adopted? A package manager? A well implemented hash table? Fast compile times? Effectively no segfaults? Effectively no memory leaks? Comparatively no race condition bugs? A benchmark and unit test framework baked into the language? Auto optimization of the layout of structs? No UB?

I don’t know what you’re counting as “3% of the issues” but if those are the 3%, they sound like massive productivity and safety wins that’s not existed in a language with a similar performance profile to C/C++.
