is it better than c

Meme. C++ is the only God-tier language

But it is trying to do things better that are kind-of shit in c++. I know that it will still take quite some time, but the outlook is quite good, r-r-rite?

No.
Truth.

friendly reminder that c++ if fucking garbage

Not only that, it doesn't have a garbage collector to clean up after its excrement.

It seems to work very well in large projects judging by the pace of progress in Servo and Redox OS. It's not mature though, and many language features still need a nightly build of the toolchain. Once that is no longer the case I'll take a serious look at it for my own programming.

But it's never been used in a large project.

I wonder if the borrow checker could just be an external linter working on AST or some other IR to simplify the toolchain a bit.
It doesn't target what C is good for - highly standardized language with good support across systems, architectures and compilers with good bindings to other languages.
If it can't beat Fortran with performance then that would be pretty disappointing since the mutability and ownership scoping and type system is a massive hint and guarantees for compiler.
