If we did that, the Rust folks wouldn't be able to claim credit for the colossal amount of very important code written in C and C++ that gets ported over to Rust. I've never seen a language where feathers in the cap are more important than they are to the Rust community.

If you read the tweet, you might notice Mr. Russinovich isn't actually advocating porting everything to Rust. If you'd care to explain how one might iron out the little wrinkles in C++, you have a captive audience.

So he is just complaining without proposing any real solutions then?

Um, he is who?

If he is Mr. Russinovich, he is saying, "For the sake of security and reliability. the industry should declare those languages as deprecated." Sounds like a proposal to me?

Not without recommending adequate alternatives.
