Yep that is my experience. C++ sucks. Thinking in rust and getting your ideas out is much much much easier. C is portable assembly, I prefer a language that protects me from footguns. I have better things to think about.

It's even worse, C is “portable” PDP-11 assembly. It has been a few decades that a C program is only distantly related to the assembly the compiler will generate.

On the Rust vs C++ scenario, try the next level with Rust:

- GUI code

- Generic datastructures crates coupled with lifetimes, macros and attributes
