Well you did say: it’s much simpler and easier than C++
And if the basis of c++ is c with classes, you’re horribly incorrect. C is a small language, easy to understand and hard to master.
Rust is fucking miserable to understand, and as such, hard to master.
Why are you being pedantic?

C++ isn't "C with classes" and hasn't been for years. Yes, Rust is bigger and more complicated than C, but much less so than C++.

I'm not. I'm making a real point: Rust is much simpler and easier than C++, so the spirit of Bjarne's quote, which is that for a language to become popular it necessarily has to have as many drawbacks as C++, is wrong.
