Better yet, read the epic rant that Zed Shaw made about Ruby. It is certainly juvenile, but I don’t think it’s baseless. Now, consider that the core members of the rust community are exactly the same people he was talking about when rails was the new shiny.

I don't think that's true. Yehuda and I would be the two people you're talking about (And Yehuda doesn't work on Rust anymore) and we both, as far as I know, appeared a few years after that rant.

A bit of an ad hominem, but Zed Shaw’s rants tend to not be the pinnacle of reasoning.
