I haven't read the article yet, but important context to this is probably that Gankra has a lot of experience with Rust. They literally wrote a lot of the book on unsafe rust...

See their list of publications for some examples: https://gankra.github.io/blah/

(I found this while trying to determine if Gankra = Gankro, it turns out it does).

Edit: Now that I've read it I can say I though they were pretty fair to both languages. This certainly isn't a comparison between them, but they made some legitimate criticisms of both when that criticism happened to be an interesting point of comparison.

Really good article, I highly recommend reading it if you like low level compiler stuff.
