Rust is even framed as an "attack on C++" by Stroustrup himself [1]. No wonder it's taboo.

Seems like a bit of a sensationalist deduction from what looks like a pretty levelheaded response. It's not a call to war, but call to improve the C++ standard

The Register article was written based on a leaked paper, since then, Bjarne published the article itself, which you can read here: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2025/p36...

Not trying to take a position about if it's sensational or not, just wanting to add a primary source here.
