I've found Rust useful to study while I'm doing my primary job in C++.
A lot of the features Rust offers regarding traits and types can be emulated in C++ with templates, but the way C++ does it is far more obfuscated. Seeing the same thing implemented in Rust helped me wrap my head around what some complicated template nestings were doing ("Oh, this is implementing traits!") in our C++ code.
