So nothing about ADT, pattern matching, modules, better std, explicit unsafe and cargo?

I skipped over modules, because Visual C++ and clang already have them in some form, it is a matter of getting them standardized in C++20.

Cargo is great, but C++ also has conan and vcpkg, eventually a standard one will emerge.

Also I do have an issue with Cargo's lack of support for binary libraries.

ADTs, while not as good as in ML languages, at least there is std::variant.

I kind of mentioned explicit unsafe when I refereed to the safety enforced at language level instead of conventions and sanitizers.

Pattern matching is a great feature across all ML based languages, there were already some attempts to add it to the C++ as well.

Yes. C++ has all of this in a crippled form. But it doesn't mean that C++ in on par with Rust.
