Why C++ though, when there's Rust? I understand that rewriting/refactoring projects from C++ to Rust may not be a good idea (in most cases at least). But starting a new project (or porting from a different language) in C++ doesn't make sense to me nowadays (unless pretty much any potential dependency of that project is written in difficult-to-wrap-in-Rust C++)

Especially if you're coming from Swift anyways (which is more closer to Rust than C++).
