The article, like most rust articles (in my perception), attacks the 'memory unsafety' issue, and therefore 'everything needs to be converted to rust'.
But ... does rust have the multi-paradigm programming mechanisms which are available in C++?
The article also ignores the issue that the recent releases of C++ are including programming methods for reducing/eliminating the memory issues: RAII, for instance, is a fundamental mechanism for ensuring memory is released at the correct time. Range operators work to eliminate the indexing issues.
'with great power comes great responsibility'. does rust offer the programming tools available in C++? templating, meta-programming, functional coding, procedural programming, object oriented constructs, ....
So, I think the title '.... and Developers Don't Want to Deal with It' is incorrect and click baity. C++ is in active development and evolution, and constructs are coming into place which help to alleviate the issues mentioned in the article.
