Rust offers better memory safety with its ownership model, reducing bugs and security vulnerabilities.

If you need to work on existing codebases or with large companies, C++ is still king.

Rust is newer but growing quickly, especially in security-focused fields, thanks to its strict compile-time checks.

For learning systems programming, Rust has a more modern, developer-friendly syntax, while C++ gives you raw control and power.
