I don't find auto, lambda, and variadic templates, move semantics and smart pointers to be bolted on. You can write Fortran in any language.

You think rvalue references are a natural and elegant construct? That if C++ were designed with move semantics in mind, this is the road they would have travelled down?

That's the biggest reason that I like Rust more than C++, even more than lifetime/safety. I've been working on a C++14 application, and "std::move" shows up a lot more than implicit copies, which not only makes the code more verbose, but analyzing performance more difficult. (I so wish I could be using Rust, but, unfortunately, the only FOSS DNP3 implementation is in C++.)
