Maybe the 2020 edition is better than the one i got from 2017 but if things aren't entirely different, basically rust to you is just a reapplication of C++ idiom for a language that targets a compiler which was historically developed to emit machine code based on c++ on the demands of cpp semantics?

Perhaps. I came from a strong C++ background, maybe that's crucial when reading it. It all just made perfect sense to me.
