A comment on Move, simply.

This is what I like about Rust: there are no copy constructors. There are no "moved-from" object values. Moves are guaranteed to be nothing more than a shallow `memcpy`. Structs aren't even copyable unless the author explicitly says so, so if a move compiles, I know it's safe and efficient.

But the language is garbage collected, that's not desirable in the domain c++ operates

Rust completely dropped GC support in 0.12 — which was released on 9th October, 2014. That happened more than 5 years ago.
