Hoare described Rust as targeted at "frustrated C++ developers"

Don't know how people can get frustrated with C and C++! But I'll admit I'm a wee bit biased.

We need a safer systems programming language | MSRC Blog | Microsoft Security Response Center

In our first post in this series, we discussed the need for proactively addressing memory safety issues. Tools and guidance are demonstrably not preventing this class of vulnerabilities; memory safety issues have represented almost the same proportion of vulnerabilities assigned a CVE for over a...

a friend of mine who’s a Rust developer was telling me that people repeating exactly the same arguments that C++ programmers have been using for like 7 years as to why Rust *isn't really that impactful and will never succeed in $domain* until it does

Why not just learn Rust _and_ C++?

Your post is a bit ambiguous, it is not precise. C++ Concepts were based on Haskell TYPECLASSES. But who cares now, it works.

I know C++ Concepts and it then took me a day or so to learn Rust traits..

It takes 15 years before a technology becomes accepted.
