I think you just don't need Rust. Your comment suggests that you didn't even try to learn the language or maybe hoped that you'll master it just by looking at it?

It's a complex language with unique properties, and it's syntax was carefully crafted towards it's goals - high performance, close to hardware, no runtime, memory safety etc.

Yeah you don't say, it's huge! Like maybe just a little bigger than C runtime. Unacceptable!

Maybe because the Rust community care about the language, develop it openly, in cooperation with like-minded people, want to be inclusive and care about software security? Of All these, what does the C++ standard committee do? No surprise why Rust people can be ( sometimes) sound like cult, where it's just a community.
