Well, where they're right is in having a modest and non-condescending attitude, which is something that C++ pundits should consider adopting.

You're generalizing about a group (C++ pundits) in the same way that the author generalizes about another group (the Rust community).

There are C++ experts who display modesty, just as there are members of the Rust community who display modesty. There is no need to try to retaliate against one person's words by hurling generalized insults against an entire group.
