Oh, not even close. It does what most languages do and just elides, ignores, or hard-codes the answers to all the questions Rust has. That's a solution, sure, a very valid one chosen by many languages over many decades, but certainly not "much better". We absolutely need at least one language that doesn't hide all that and I think the programming language community as a whole will really benefit from the list of choices for that being expanded from "C++", which is getting really long in the tooth And I'm not even sure C++ was ever really designed to be this language, I think a lot of it just sort of happened by default and it sort of backed into this role, and frankly, it shows. Rust being designed for this can't hardly help but be nicer, even if we completely ripped out the borrow checker aspect.
