> How are you counting "advantages", and how did you come up with the requisite number being 4 or 5?

The vagueness was intentional. There is of course no homogeneous way of combining advantages into a cardinal measure. It's just a rhetorical device.

The point is that it falls short of the amount needed. Another, more subtle point is that I didn't count disadvantages. The argument applies even if you think Rust doesn't have any.
