“Attacks”.

The Caeser cipher used to be a valid cryptography method, and then it was not.

What does this imply? That the creator of C++ thought that their language would be the end all be all?

Tough news for them I guess, but no, it is not. On a long enough timeline, neither is Rust probably, but such is the price of innovation.

To call superior innovations an “attack” is one of the most folly things one can do.

Before someone asks what makes Rust superior, the very fact that the C++ creator is using the term “attack” here should very well be evidence enough, because it is an ad hominem fallacy. Instead of criticizing Rust, because they cannot find a valid way to, they choose instead to attack the character of Rust users.

Stroustrup has always been a troll, and now that he is finally in the “find out” stage he seems unable to do anything else than whining.

btw, his “profiles” proposal is a sad bad joke. He clearly does not understand why C++ sucks at security, and therefore he is unable to introduce useful changes in that direction.
