I think it's worse than C. That being said, I'm probably also biased in a way where I'm more forgiving to C++ than to Rust because C++ is old and Rust is new. What I found when I was working with Rust was that I wished you'd write it like you write Go. As for Go I quite quickly wished it worked like Rust. So I guess you can't win with me?
These days we mainly use Typescript because it's useful to mainly use a single language in small teams since it allows the one frontend guy to go on vacations without a laptop. We still do some C#, some C and some Rust + the Python which runs our ML/AI/BI parts since that's what those people work with in my area of the world.
I've been exposed to Python through work, but I was never a fan. Backwhen I was faced with learning Ruby or Python, I picked Ruby; just felt more ergonomic. I even prefer more recent versions of TypeScript to Python too. I never really felt productive in Python, since the language is very finnicky (I would say more so than JS).
