I beleive he clarified in the same sentence that he was not calling the language Rust cancer... to quote "where this cancer explicitly is a cross-language codebase and not Rust itself, just to escape the flameware brigade"
So, to be more specific, he called Rust in Linux kernel source a cancer.
It needs to be a little more specific to be correct; a cross language codebase would be the cancer.
