Joke's on him, many Rust people are current or former C++ people.

> Switching to a more modern topic, the introduction of the Rust language into Linux, Torvalds is disappointed that its adoption isn't going faster. "I was expecting updates to be faster, but part of the problem is that old-time kernel developers are used to C and don't know Rust. They're not exactly excited about having to learn a new language that is, in some respects, very different. So there's been some pushback on Rust."

just because someone writes or wrote C++ doesn't make them a "C++ person", and "C++ people" are very much against rust
