I've flagged this because not only is it an unfair characterization of C++, it's also using a version of Rust that is six months out of date.
As a Rust fan, I don't think we need to resort to cheap shots. The language stands well enough on its own; misinformation and propaganda pieces won't get us anywhere.
If anything, the Rust community seems more concerned with only showing the good sides of its community than it is with only showing the good sides of Rust. That of course has its social/"political" advantages.
I see this as a technical advantage, not a political one. I want the language to be legitimately great, which means that we need to encourage an atmosphere where people feel welcome to express informed and constructive criticism. Breathless praise is surely kind, but it doesn't really advance the conversation. In other words: I already know that the language is good; I want you to tell me how it could be better.
