Rust provides a good solution to C++ legacy cruft, complexity, undefined behavior, data races and provides some nice new language features like ADTs, traits, etc. I find it ties the language feature together with a beautiful and well thought out syntax.
Still, because of tooling, direct C++ interop and familiarity we would have stuck with C++. The killer feature that elevates Rust above everything else - and made us switch - is the borrow checker.
