[TheDong]

If they meant "A more powerful tool", the right way to express that is "more powerful", not "weaker/stronger".

However, if you look at that part of the article, they justify that statement by linking to this post [0] which is explicitly about how rust actually type-checks generics more strongly. The linked post has the opposite implication of what the author took it to mean, and that link makes it clear that they were referring explicitly to how they're typed, not to "actual effectiveness".
