Yeah, I don't think there is a professional C++ developer who has any of these problems. It's called static analysis... welcome to a decade ago. Why on earth would an organisation move their codebase to Rust when they can just run Clang? Which they should be doing anyway.....

C++ has ADTs from C++17 and will have typeclasses from C++20. Templates with type traits are effectively a superclass of type parameters anyway.

The failures of Rust are the same failures of C++. Leaky abstractions making it impossible to separate representation details, making the abstraction consume a disproportionate mental load.
Given that Rust doesn't actually solve any of the actual problems C++ programmers have, there is no motivation to switch.
