So you're using this as an opportunity to bash an entire language ecosystem? The merits of this project have no bearing on Rust or its adoption.

I think they were referring to the fact that when a new popular language arises, people rush to build things in that language and then act as if the language itself is sufficient to make the resulting product good instead of any inherent merits.

I think the parent was bashing the attendant hype and the resulting reinventions but worse.

There was a blog I read about the Rust Zealot Brigade (or similar name) that would reliably descend on any HN conversation.
