Counter bullets:
* Experience gap between C++ and Rust should give edge to C++ as it has larger pool of candidates to pick from.
* Even in greenfield Rust vs greenfield C++ like Rust drivers in Android, Rust significantly reduced defect rate.
* Measurements in this study were done on teams with same size, rewriting existing service. Neither you or Primagen demonstrate how that would be misleading.
* See first point. While true how can you be sure C++ team isn't overall better than Rust? What if C++ is three senior engineers and Rust is three mediors?
Actual possible problems:
* There isn't yet enough data for language comparison. Too early to tell.
* Observer effect might have influenced the study.
