C++ programmer of ~10 years here (Google Chrome, mostly).

Rust feels very very much like C++ to me. All the memory ownership stuff is basically common patterns in modern C++ pulled down into the compiler and enforced.

Also arguing with the compiler about types feels very familiar from C++ :-/.

That's a good point. The ownership patterns are basically compiler-enforced best-practices of C++. Fair enough.
