Eh, he parrots decade-old anti-D talking points about non-technical, organizational issues and doesn't say anything about the language itself, who knows if he's even tried it.
As for the the rest, the usual bunk from him, a fair amount of random theorizing only to reach conclusions that many others reached years ago: C has serious problems and more memory-safe languages are aiming to replace it, while C++ doesn't have a chance for the same reason it took off, it bakes in all of C's problems and adds more on top.
He's basically just jumping on the same bandwagon that a lot of people are already on, as it starts to pick up speed. Good for him that he sees it picking up momentum and has jumped in instead of being left behind clinging to the old tech, but no big deal if he didn't.
