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.
