This is exactly what c++ tried to do and failed.

Of cause you can find a sane subset of c++ / rust that most comfortable with. But once your project accept c++ / rust, nothing can stop them using the other "features" of the language.

Trying to enforce code style drain lots of energy from the project. Maybe a good linter can help......

While I'm not a fan of polymorphism and actually avoid OO completely (except for making data structures out of classes of course) I feel like this could be something easily solved with tools, if making tools were easy.
