That’s extremely ungenerous. I see the legitimate challenges with Rust as do most people I talk with who are C++ veterans. But we also all agree that C/C++ isn’t tenable in the long term. It might not be Rust that wins eventually but only because a better alternative pops up. Without a better alternative it’s going to be Rust. And let me tell you. The Rust team to date has been very good at building a very attractive ecosystem and bringing people along. The people who are Rust advocates that I’ve come across tend to be extremely thoughtful individuals and not just fanboys latching onto something cool.
