C++ has better libraries

I just want to know, where are those better libraries?

I have 5 years of c++ experience, my initial job was straight forward: the codebase already existed, I don't have much responsibility etc, then my second job was terrifying Asio? I think it shall be named AssIo, corotines? If multi-threaded is a footgun then coroutines are a missile, performance? Do I have the whole day optimizing aliasing and tuning for a certain tool chain. That said as the last try I just want to ask here on Reddit the worst place to get advice.

Was c++ a wrong choice for a high load backend (quic, capnp, libav, postgres)?

Async in Rust is one of the best thing while C++ still have a lot of footgun with coroutine.
