You can see comments on /r/cpp here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1tgtllt/bjarne_stroustrup_interviewed_by_ryan_peterman/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1tgtllt/bjarne_stroust... There is a significant discussion about it. However, there are also a number of other threads on /r/cpp where you can read about people's opinions. https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1rsmw5j/c26_safety_features_wont_save_you_and_the/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1rsmw5j/c26_safety_fea... is one sort of recent (three months ago) thread that I remember having quite the discussion. My take (which is, given that I worked on Rust, a bit biased, but I intend to be truthful regardless) is that there are some folks who agree with Bjarne, but also many who do not. Time will tell.
