It is not that hard for C++ developers to pick up Rust. The borrow checker makes explicit safety requirements that exist in C++.
The tooling does need to be more mature but for many projects the pioneer tax paid to improve the tooling may be worth it. Besides, it's not as if C++ dependency management is very mature either — most people build custom tooling for that anyway.
