I found the filesystems complaint about C++ bizarre too, because that is a system-dependent behaviour. How an open file behaves when it is deleted has very little to do with the programming language. And it does not matter if that language is Python, Rust or C++. These ecosystems interact with the underlying OS and report back what the OS layer tells them.

I absolutely understand some of the niceness about Rust preventing programmers from shooting themselves in the foot(it is still possible nonetheless), but sometimes it feels people just want to complain about C++ for the sake of complaining.
