Recently I've been reading Effective Modern C++ by Scott Meyers. It's a great book that contains tons of practical advice, as well as horror stories to astound your friends and confuse your enemies. Since Rust shares many core ideas with modern C++, I thought I'd describe how some of the C++ advice translates to Rust, or doesn't.
This is not a general-purpose Rust / C++ comparison. Honestly, it might not make a lot of sense if you haven't read the book I'm referencing. There are a number of C++ features missing in Rust, for example integer template arguments and advanced template metaprogramming. I'll say no more about those because they aren't new to modern C++.
