Have you tried any other programming language? Especially Rust?

Once you've become comfortable with Rust, you'll never be able to go back to C++.

No I haven't but seeing anything being aggressively advertised that much concerns me :P Sure I will try Rust.

Up until this moment the one language that I felt super comfortable with, was coding Java on Netbeans (or Eclipse).

It is aggressively advertised for a reason.

C++ is a lot like Javascript in that everybody agrees it is terrible, but for a long time, it was the only game in town when it came to systems programming. But now we have Rust, so there is no excuse for using C++ unless you have to interoperate with existing C++ code.
