Which is one of the reasons why Rust is considered to be targeting C++'s developers. C++ devs already have the Stockholm syndrome needed to tolerate the tooling.

Rust's compilation is slow, but the tooling is just about the best that any programming language has.

Also modern c++ with value semantics is more functional than many other languages people might come to rust from, that keeps the borrow checker from being as annoying. If people are used to making webs of stateful classes with references to each pther. The borrow checker is horrific, but that is because that design pattern is horrific if you multithread it.
