I don&#x27;t use C++ or Rust in a daily context, but I can say without a doubt that Rust is the easier language to grasp. I don&#x27;t have to decide anything about headers, linking, Makefiles, etc. to get things up and running; I can declare dependencies in Cargo.toml and it <i>just works</i>.<p>The Rust standard library feels so much more modern and easy to use than the STL. The documentation is fantastic, too.<p>C++ pointers, casting, OO, templates, and all the billion other language features feel like traversing down a rabbit hole. Rust is small enough to grok in a day. The syntax is incredibly expressive and a joy to use.
