C++ is just as "safe" as Rust if you use modern language features (std::unique_ptr, for instance). I would argue that anyone who says Rust provides better memory safety than C++ most likely is not familiar with modern C++ and still sees the language as "C with classes."

I would argue that anyone who says C++ provides a similar level of memory safety as rust hasn’t done serious development work in either language.
