Many of the points are valid, but it's important to remember Rust is not even released. Java 1, Ruby 1, Perl 1, Python 1 were all pretty terrible compared to their current manifestations.

They know only 1 part of the bridge, but without second part is not the bridge, but shameful biased grunt "oh oh, will we still make money on C++ or we need to learn something new to keep our income?". And question is answered before they company existed. They even dare enough to recommend others don't learn Rust in favor of C++ - so biased recommendation makes whole grunt even more pointless.

Don't get me wrong, I understand difference between constructive criticism and biased grunt of grumpy C++ programmer.
