They must have a poor curriculum then..  When I was in my software engineering program 20+ years ago, we learned C++ but they taught object-oriented programming from the beginning, and taught about classes, streaming I/O, STL, etc..

I haven't used Rust yet, but I've also used C++ quite a bit.  Maybe I had gotten used to C++, but I don't really mind it a whole lot.  That said, I've used C# in some projects recently and some things did feel easier to do.
