I get that this is satire, but leave Rust out of it. Rust is blameless when it comes to bad business ideas and execution.

You shouldn't be scaring people away from a language that offers so much. Rust is not hard like all the dumb memes make it out to be. For startups where performance is vital (media, streaming), I'd argue it'll be indispensable [1].

The Rust bullying harms our community. We don't have the corporate backing of Go. Pick on something from Google or Apple instead.

[1] I wrote my media-intensive webapp, https://vo.codes, in Rust and I'm quite productive.

Relax. Everyone gets that this isn't about Rust, and that it's about focusing on technology for its own sake.

It's just a popular target, as in "Rust Evangelism Strikeforce". Typically, it's a good sign when people start poking fun.
