Concepts, coroutines, and modules are already in ISO C++20.

And co-routines are in a much better story than the incompatible 
runtimes currently existing for Rust async/await story.

Rust still needs to improve a lot on its tooling and ecosystem to 
cover many of the scenarios we use C++ for, even if is safer.

Already the fact that it lacks an ISO standard is a no go in many 
domains.

I guess you mean using Python as glue for GPGU libraries written 
in C++.
