It's a fine post except for this:
> Countless companies have cited how they improved their security or the amount of reported bugs or memory leaks by simply rewriting their C++ codebases in Rust. Now is that because of Rust? I’d argue in some small part, yes.
Just delete this. Even an hour's familiarity with Rust will give you a visceral understanding that "Rewrites of C++ codebases to Rust always yield more memory-safe results than before" is absolutely not because "any rewrite of an existing codebase is going to yield better results". If you don't have that, skip it, because it weakens the whole piece.
