Reflection, Rust community did a very good job driving away the person that cared to do that work, to the point he went back to C and C++ ISO comittees.

Several features on C23 were done thanks to his work.

Also compile time execution is much more rich in C++ than Rust, regardling language features and standard library that can be used at compile time.

Naturally none of the languages is standing still, and they will both improve on that regard.

I agree. Rust could definitely be more ergonomic and IIRC the main reason it wasn't made that way years ago was because the users of proc macros vetoed the new 2.0 API. IIRC over stilly things like it'd make some of their other crates pointless.
