Article is light on substance. Author has a few glaring holes in his understanding of basic Rust concepts, and the writes this:

> One of the projects I worked on consisted of bridging 900K+ lines of C code from and into Rust. There was no great difficulty in doing this

I'm calling bullshit.

I suspect you misunderstood the word "bridging". I interpret that as FFI. Rust <-> C FFI has some tedium, but it's straightforward. The only complexity comes if you don't fully understand C.

Rust has excellent FFI support so this statement is about as controversial as saying there is no great difficulty integrating a 900k+ lines of C code from and in to C++.
