I find C++ friendlier for small hobby projects because it lets you get your code compiled even if it's a little messy or slightly unsafe.

As for "serious code", I admit that Rust is maybe better for low-level security-critical stuff. But for native applications it's on par thanks to smart pointers and also just -fsanitize=address.

(also default copy semantics just seem more intuitive i dunno why)
