The thing that is at odds with Rust is the second part of the article: the difference in mindsets.

Rust by default doesn't really encourage the group-element mindset and people have to work against the language in order to do it. And what usually happens is people work around the borrow-check as a result, through the use of a handle system. And they do this in order to get the lifetime benefits, performance benefits, and also get around the problems of the ownership semantics.

Of course you can do this in Rust, but the point is that the default approach in Rust does not encourage it at all. The default Rust mindset is the individual-element mindset.
