IME this is mostly a familiarity problem not an actual syntax problem.

No, I mean humans in general, not software developers. Seriously, show a non-developer a printout of some average modern C++ code and some average rust code and see which one they think is easier to read and more visually pleasing.

Average Rust code uses a fair number of lambdas, you won't convince me that C++ has a readable / ergonomic syntax for lambdas.
