In that case, the blog post was explicitly comparing Rust and C++. It is not surprising that the comparison goes both way. I am talking about the HN topics like "How to implement a packet tracer in C++" or "Optimize std::vector with C++14" where invariably a comment like "Who use C++ in 2016 when you have Rust?" spawns. Rust is amazing, but that doesn't make it the de-facto answer to all the projects. Some people might still want to increase their skills in their day-to-day language like C++, even if they are aware of Rust awesome features.
