Is there a language other than rust that is memory safe? I'm using C++ for good reason, and while rust does have some things I find intriguing, those who have experimented where I work have returned to modern c++ (I have not been able to figure out why). What other alternatives do I have that compile to fast code, have a wealth of libraries, and interoperate well with my existing C++?

You mean other than most of them? Gotta say this is the first time I've seen someone forget that garbage collection even exists.

Seems you missed the last line

compiles to fast code
