Muratori followers tend to beat around the bush to avoid saying it directly, but the implication here is that anyone who sees value in Rust is simply a bad programmer and will either stay a bad programmer or eventually stop using the language. Same goes for any language with garbage collection. A quote from the linked video starting around 8:30: > All of the advice you see online pretty much is for people thinking at this level, which is not where you want to be. You're gonna have to go through it at some point to understand what's going on, but your goal is to go from [individual element thinking] to [grouped element thinking], so advice like 'use smart pointers' or the rust borrow checker, all that stuff? Those are for people who are still not very good at programming. To be clear: I do not agree with this position, but I thought it was important to clarify what I believe to be the intended message of this article (and others that you see coming from this group of people).
