Where are these articles that whine and complain and bemoan C++? Here are all the recent articles from the Rust developers themselves:

http://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/04/24/Rust-Once-Run-Everywher...

http://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/05/11/traits.html

Each of these have been at the top of HN on the day of publication, they've been relatively hard to miss. None of them bemoan C++. In fact, they cite C++ as inspiration.



So, which articles and blog postings about Rust have you seen that put C++ in a false light? Feel free to consider this a test.


I refuse to consider it a test, thank you, because I'd end up failing it. I was genuinely curious when I asked the grandparent poster where he was seeing people whine about C++, because I just haven't seen them. And I'm a moderator of /r/rust, so I like to think that I see every Rust-related blog post that springs forth from the bowels of the internet.

In the course of researching this comment I ranked the top-rated posts on the subreddit over the past month, and not only did I not find any that were bashing C++, but the fourth-highest-rated post is actually a criticism of Rust by a Boost developer: https://plus.google.com/+nialldouglas/posts/AXFJRSM8u2t

So I ask again: who is going around unjustly denouncing C++ in Rust's name? I ask because I want to stop them!
