Just like in any sect. As long as you agree everything is perfect, the community is the friendliest indeed.

Nope, many times I submitted a question, got help instantly with a very long explanation telling why the thing I try to do makes sense and should work, but some things in the compiler or libraries haven't been stabilized or finished yet, and they were working on that. And then giving me some temporary workarounds.

The community definitely acknowledges the limitations and sharp edges and listens to the users. Thanks to that attitude, Rust is way more friendly and easier to use than it was 5 years ago.

That's not fair to Rust. I think it's feature of community size and genuine interest/innovation in Rust.
