C++ takes this to another level, though. I'm not an expert Go or Rust programmer, but it's much easier to understand the code in their standard libraries than C++.

Fair enough :) Unfortunately, this is just something one has to accept as a C++ programmer. Should we roll our own std::vector because we can't understand the standard library implemention? The answer is, of course, a firm "no" (unless you have very special requirements).
