What was one of the benefits of C++ that was discussed? It seems like everything mentioned also comes with a terrible faustian bargain. For instance, C++ build systems are as plentiful as they are byzantine and torturous. Some new language features are heaven, but when your compiler hasn't implemented them yet, suddenly you're in hell. And the fact that bigots tend to feel freer in C++ communities than in rust communities certainly feels like a deal with the devil.

So I pick up a Rust project about once a year, and I always try and keep with stable releases. Yet every project I find some small should-be-obvious thing that's nightly only, and I either have to swallow my frustrations and find a work-around or switch to nightly for the project -_-
