If you know rust, you can carry the same ideas to C++. My C and C++ skills greatly improved as I got better with rust. The compiler forces you to learn proper memory management and that carries over.

Smart pointers? Just Box, Rc, Arc and Refcel.

Move semantics? It's just another name for ownership.

Sure, the OOP stuff are different, but okay, that in and of itself shouldn't hinder you.

If it's an experienced C++ job and you don't know the difference between rvalue/lvalue/etc, you're gonna have a tough time.

Are you sure? Many C++ programmers who have learned rust report that it has also made them better C++ programmers.

Yeah C++ have steep learning curve compared to Rust.
