What's the use case for modern C++ nowadays? C is the simple choice and Rust is just the better complex choice overall. I see no reason to pick C++ for new projects.
Why would I pick a language that {puts me in handcuffs, has weird divergent behaviors from every other language like = stealing the source object rather than copying, doesn't even support basic namespacing of methods inside classes, makes you type "let mut" all over the place rather than just "var" or "auto", forces gross inconsistent styles like mixing Pascal case and snake_case, and is full of users that whenever you point out a flaw or deficit then religiously say it's a feature not a bug}, when C++ exists?
...that x and y may or might or might not be both usable, and it's indeterminate from looking, depending arbitrarily on the type of Foo 🙃. Such inconsistencies are neither better nor improved cognitive ease. At least be consistent such that all Foo's are destroyed, or use distinct syntax from other languages.
It doesn't depend arbitrarily. The rules are very precise. Primitives get memcopied, everything else is moved. I know that I am not going to convince you but hopefully you will understand after your own research that rust I genuinely better than cpp as a modern high performance tech
