You may want to refresh your familiarity with Rust, I haven't touched nightly in ages and much of what you mention doesn't really resonate with what I've seen in practice. Not saying the language doesn't have issues and things that aren't frustrating but in my experience unless you're going to go to the nines in testing/validation/etc (which is the first thing that's cut when schedules/etc are in peril) I've seen Rust code scale better than C++ ever did.

More tools in the C/C++ realm are always welcome but I've yet to see more than 50% of projects I've worked on be able to successfully use ASAN(assuming you've got the time to burn to configure them and all their dependencies properly). I've used ASAN, CBMC and other tools to good effect but find Rust more productive overall.
