Have you tried modern C++ before switching to rust? Or were you already using it and it didn't provide all the necessary features?

I am all for modern C++, and although I like Rust, C++ is more useful for my line of work.

However, it doesn't matter how much modern we make C++, if you don't fully control your codebase, there is always going to exist that code snippet written in C style.

Does it have a borrow checker?

In the form of static analysis, lifetime checker.

So no?

Depends, not on the language, that is correct.

However I always have static analysers enabled on my builds, so it is almost as if they were part of the language. Regardless if we are talking about Java, C# or C++.

Just like most people that are serious about Rust have clippy always enabled, yet it does stuff that ins't part of Rust language spec.
