Essentially all high-end systems code for high-performance and high-reliability systems is still written in modern C++. That language has many attractive properties, including safety features that Rust does not currently support.

Additionally, for pure performance requirements, C++ is still materially faster than Rust in practice. That may change some day. C++ has many issues but it is also objectively excellent at many things.

Could you expand on what specific safety features C++ has that Rust doesn't?
