Modern C++ is characterized by relying on templates for generics and reusability, as well as static dispatch.

“Traditional” C++ looks a lot more like Java, and often like C.

Much of the compile time of both Rust and C++ comes from monomorphization and linking, both of which do a lot of work to support the zero-cost high-level abstractions favored by both languages.
