Rust is based on ADTs, typeclasses, and type parameters. C++s toolkit for abstraction is templates and OOP. They're completely different, and it sounds like you're just trolling anyway.

C++ has ADTs from C++17 and will have typeclasses from C++20. Templates with type traits are effectively a superclass of type parameters anyway.

C++'s ADTs are std::variant, which is horrific.

C++'s type classes are concepts, which are hardly more than syntactic sugar over SFINAE.

Neither can really compare to Rust's enums or traits.

Templates generate bad error messages because they are duck-typed. Rust is better at this.
