GP is also wrong.

At this point it's mostly a meme. Rust is slow to compile. I mean, yeah if you abuse meta programming or monomorphisation.

I've been programming in it, and while I like the language, I'm not on the language community bandwagon. E.g. CoC and it's enforcement (I think it's just pointless grandstanding).

I've seen pretty much zero grandstanding in the Rust community about the CoC. They seem to treat it as any CoC should be treated in practice; a failsafe measure which is most critical for in-person events, and to protect people who make their real-world identity public from aggressive trolling and malicious behavior.
First. You are arguing against my sidenote, on why I don't consider myself Rust coolaid member. Second: it's just my opinion.

Third: I said CoC is grandstanding. It's just a toothless document, that pretends to solve issues much like renaming Git default branch master->main.

We saw it wasn't enforceable last year when Rust moderators quit over being unable to enforce it.
