> It's incredulous to think that anyone from the Rust community can put forth such a claim

If you talk about something so undefined as _the Rust community_, I'm pretty sure I can claim that _someone of them_ has said pretty much anything in existence.

Like some of the "why did you not write it in Rust" bros on any forum like Reddit or here might very well have writen some utter bullshit about other languages, would not be surprised.

I'm more than half convinced that the "why did you not write it in Rust" group actually hates Rust and its a meme because those comments certainly promote a visceral hatred.

I can assure you that they exist, and they are unironic.

[protomyth]

Today, that saddens me greatly. It seems like there are always members of any community, virtual or physical, that go to such an extreme that they provide fodder for all those who don't like the community as a whole. The Warhammer Heresy memes are just too true.

The parent and Stroustrup were both clear in saying “someone from the Rust community” and not “the Rust community”. Talking about group opinions is hard but in this case they were clear.

“Someone from the Rust community” is super vague.

[AnimalMuppet]

Super vague as to who it was, yes. But it's really clear that it wasn't the position of the bulk of the community.
