C like code was presented as C++, while Rust code using an existing library was presented as something not available in C++ (type level programming).

Blame Arduino for their stdlib.

You are putting things in the author's mouth, they never said that; only that it was not available in Arduino's stdlib.

What about blame the author for their lack of C++ skills while selling Rust, and pretending otherwise?

Once again, you're reading a language war where there is none.

Read the bloody article, it's all about the type system, not the language.

Do you really expect the author to rewrite the Arduino stdlib for the sake of pjmlp's sensibility?

[pjmlp]

I expect the author to actually learn C++ to start with.

I survived the Usenet flamewars, there is no sensibility to hurt.

Looking at the fellow comments the crowd shares a similar opinion on the article.

Some food for thought.
