Every piece of software that people actually use will face criticism. But as quite honestly for some one with the clout of Mr Stenberg to out some poor Joe Codes just because they dared to have an opinion is just as pathetic if not more.

Writing an HTTP 1 client in a weekend is doable and Rust is probably a better language today than C is (with some caveats obviously). Is having that opinion enough to to be publicly humiliated on Mr Stenberg's blog, I sure hope not.

Is he not similarly entitled to "dare to have an opinion"?

What is the level of clout at which point you should be forbidden from commenting on criticism people direct at you on public forums?

If any of those people had written such a client (in Rust even!) could you link me to their project?
