You've apparently read the reverse of what I said. I said the new thing didn't replace the old thing, and that therefore the idea that "we are doing the same, and it will replace the old thing" is nonsense. I did not say that because it can't replace it, it is therefore not worth doing. It absolutely is, like all attempts at making things that "solve the problems that C++ has" have been varying degrees of worth it. But the idea that it can, let alone will, replace the original is such an obvious "no" that the title is clickbait. Or slide-bait (since it was originally a conf. talk)
