It was true until LLMs arrive. Feature compilers + IDEs can be integrated with LLMs to help programmers.
Rust was a great idea, before LLMs, but I don't see the motivation for Rust when LLMs can be the solution initial for C/C++ 'problems'.
Relying on LLMs to code for you in no way solves the safety problem of C/C++ and probably worsens it.
On the contrary LLMs make using safe but constraining languages easier - you can just ask it how to do what you want in Rust, perhaps even by asking it to translate C-ish pseudocode.
