Presumably you mean String/&str? (~str hasn't existed for a long time.)
On the contrary, the lack of the string/string-view distinction is widely considered a flaw in the C++ standard libraries. C++14 introduces std::string_view to correct it. Rust's String/str distinction is just the same as C++14's std::string/std::string_view.
