> If you don’t want to learn c++ for its own sake, that’s time you could better spend learning a language that’s not actively trying to harm you.
With enough time, you will realize that any language try to harm you and has quirks. Just different quirks in different scope. Rust included.

I coded for C++ for a smilar time. Now I write Rust on my free time and I still enjoy C++.
This "nightmarish many-tentacled footgun monster" is still a pleasure to use for many use cases and far more powerful than Rust for some scenarios ( constexpr/consteval, template with const litteral, overloading, low level control on memory allocator and a gigantic ecosystem of high quality libraries)
