This is a personal attack: "It seems you don’t understand (or more likely you don’t want to understand)."

This is bullying: "Prove Rust is controlling critical systems _today_ ".

And this breaks the site guideline against calling names in arguments, as well as returning to personal attack: "Otherwise, please stop spreading bullshit".

Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Your comments need to be considerably more respectful if you want to keep posting here. There are plenty of ways to express your views about programming languages thoughtfully, including if you disagree with someone. It's not hard, if you take the spirit of this site to heart. We'd appreciate it if you'd do that.

Well, it seems you consider a “personal attack” any comment directed to another person, even if it is meaningful for the discussion and in-context. Your own guidelines ask for maintaining an identity (“On HN, users should have an identity that others can relate to.”); yet you don’t want any comments questioning anyone.

As for the rest: I don’t see how asking for proof can be considered “bullying”.

Please review the definition of bullying, because you are trivializing it and therefore hurting actual victims of bullying.

Thank you on behalf of them.

Finally, since it seems HN are in the business of deleting fair comments, I will leave the site and do my best warn others of what is happening here.

Good luck.
