You picked a bizarre article to make that comment on...It's hardly irrelevant to the post, as the author's central thesis is that there's no case for choosing C++ over languages like Rust and Swift (he says as much in the article).
And rightly so! What's wrong with spreading awareness about safer alternative?
If that wasn't the case in the past, we'd still be programming in Cobol and Fortran.
On the contrary, we had plenty of safer alternatives for systems programming, derived from Algol and PL/I.
Then came an OS, with a symbolic price instead of the typical market prices of competing OSes, alongside source code tapes, and a systems programming language that was the "JavaScript" of system languages.
The Rust Evangelism Strikeforce only exists in completely inane comments like yours, maybe instead of posting memes you comment on the actual content of the article not the headline?
