On: Matt Godbolt sold me on Rust by showing me C++

I can't speak for a bigger rust project, but my experience with C++ (mostly with cmake) is so awful that I don't think it can get any worse.

Like with any bigger C++ project there's like 3 build tools, two different packaging systems and likely one or even multiple code generators.

that does not answer at all OP's question.

"It can't get any worse than C++" That's my response. So just use rust. In the long run you'll save time as well.
