Rust is a programming language. It’s the right tool for the job of programming. It happens to have a lot of features that make it a very good programming language.

I think you’re wrong about the language and community, though. It’s killer feature is it’s safety, be it memory, data race, or type. These are the reasons I was interested in learning the language. The fact that the tools make that easier is why I was able to struggle through the new concepts and actually be able to build useful things with it.

If the fact that people enjoy something as a general community turns you off, that’s not the community’s problem.
