His task was to show how good C++ is. To do this better, you had to attack someone. Was selected Rust. Ie motivation and goal is the protection of C++, which he apparently loves, works with him.

Such disputes are constantly going on between different languages. Sometimes they try to belittle the language in comparison.

I don’t take it seriously. This is his personal opinion. All the more so because it is obvious from the intonation and manner of speaking (and my native language is Russian) that its task is to show all the charms of C++.

What for? Perhaps this is an introductory lecture that aims to attract students to the courses. Which are probably paid. :grinning face:

By and large, money again.

The guy speaks enthusiastically, he believes in what he says. We all make the same mistake in different areas. If we are successful in one thing (for example, in C++), we somehow believe that we have become experts in another.

Singers talk about politics, physicists talk about religion, religious figures get involved in science. When this happens, there is a misunderstanding.

The big mistake here is that the research doesn’t start with a conclusion. Listeners are now convinced that C++ is “better”. This happens all the time. Someone tells us something and we start believing it all our lives. We believe this, without our own research. This is very much hindering development. We don’t need to investigate, because we already “know”. :grinning face:
