What a waste of time article. There is plenty of debunking of the points already so I won't repeat them.

Yes C++ has many many issues, and yet most of the biggest most complex software systems in existence are written in it. I don't see the browsers, OSs, DAWs, AAA games etc. being implemented in Go. Rust is a real improvement for these areas, with a proven track record of making software more reliable and maintainable.

If the author intended to say "Rust is not the best programming language for every problem" they should have said that but it would have been worth an article as much as "Screwdrivers are not the best hammers".
