Not the GP, but the biggest one is dependency management. Cargo is just extremely good.
As for the language tooling itself, static and runtime analyzers in C and C++ (and these are table stakes at this point) do not come close to the level of accuracy of the Rust compiler. If you care about writing unsafe code, Miri is orders of magnitude better at detecting UB than any runtime analyzer I've seen for C and C++.
I do not think package management should be done at the level of programming languages.
Pacman is extremely good, too, for C. :)
Pacman solves a different problem. Cargo manages your project's dependencies, not system packages.
I know, but often that is all you need for C.
