Rust is not obviously specifically for blockchain development it's just used more in those areas, because it's easier to enforce good coding practises and patterns than C++. It also has a shorter learning curve, so you can just pick up people that are interested in it and train them. C++ developers although not rare, would probably not work in a crypto start up, as the good ones are mostly well seasoned developers.

As far as C++ is concerned the link you provided is not the official website, the official one (if there is one) would be isocpp.org/
