Rust is a bad attempt at reinventing C++? That's a unique take.
Memory safety is a big deal for writing secure programs, which has been repeatedly shown to be impossible to do at scale in C++. Provably safe parallelism and concurrency is key for performance on multi core devices, also extremely difficult to do safely and correctly in C++.
If C++ is the wheel being reinvented, it's not much of a wheel.
