I like C++ but I think he meant in terms of how sane and usable the tools are, in which case Rust easily wins. Compare Cargo to CMake for example.

Sure it might not have as many IDEs, static analysers, debuggers and so on, but I'd easily take Rust's build system over C++'s tool ecosystem.

When we compare eco-systems, we need to consider everything.

For cargo to win over cmake, it needs to finally support binary libraries.

For Rust to matter to .NET devs, it needs to support COM/UWP and mixed mode debugging on IDEs.

On Android, mixed mode debugging and just fitting in with the NDK/AS would also be quite productive.
