I wonder how much of this love of Rust stems from the fact that he actually didn't have a full time job programming in Rust. When one starts off doing hobby projects in Rust the experience can be very pleasant thanks to cargo (btw, it is a bit puzzling that vcpkg is not adopted more broadly in C++ land since the gap from cargo is not that bad).
However, once you get a job writing programs and find out you need to quickly prototype, refactor the code or make changes under a strict deadline, not good, it quite literally is the worst language to make large scale updates beating even C++. This is not counting the other memory safe languages (golang, C#, Java, Kotlin, etc..) which is where you should first target.
