While I don't know anything about that project, your comment sounds a bit unwarrantingly anti-C++.
Most compilers and operating systems are built in C++ nowadays, it's the industry standard for any systems-level programming.

Anyway, no point in cargo culting the use any further.
C++ is the industry standard for existing software but it would be dubious at best to start a new project in C++. Especially something that has essentially no dependencies like a compiler. GUIs and games, sure.
Believing that all new software should be written in Rust rather than C++, and that this situation is inevitable anyway, is one of the core tenets of this church.
I bet you were one of those people that dismissed anyone that liked the iPhone as being an Apple fanboy.
You know people really like Rust because it's good right? I'm curious what other reason you think people have for promoting it?
Even the White House says you should use Rust instead of C++. Are they Rust zealots?
