I don't mind enthusiasm, but it's the way it's written so condescendingly of other languages. And you know it's just thinly veiled marketing to sell something (either a course, their services, etc).

I don't know what was said, but I will say, a programming language is a tool in the toolbox. If a professional says "My Milwaukee power saw is better than anything Dewalt or Ryobi make", that's simply an opinion about a tool. No reason to take it personally if you like Dewalt.

Rust does have some downsides, and I think it is better to focus on those than any language culture war, if you choose to vetch. As in -- I think saying things like "Rust makes certain large refactors more difficult" is much better than low grade whining about the Rust Evangelism Strike Force.
