Did you write C++ after C++ 20 came out ? With concepts and a modern code base, the incomprehensible errors are a thing of the past.

I haven't actually, glad to hear it! I still see big advantages to the extra compile time safety provided by Rust, and despite the mentioned similarities I find its syntax significantly clearer to read and write. C++ templates took me forever to really wrap my head around where a similar declaration in Rust feels immediately intuitive even where I don't fully understand all the nuances.
