People seem to get really upset about a language that does not do what they want, or how they want it to be done, so they write articles about the language nobody is forcing them to use.

I get that Rust or C++ has more power or expressiveness, but neither of those come without additional cognitive effort for us non-CS types. But if I don’t _need_ to work in Rust to get my work done, why bother ?

Go is good enough for me, Rust for others, etc. Hating a technology that you can choose not to use seems futile.

Only if I were adamant enough to quit each time it happens (I say this having joined a team that was explicitly Java/Scala-focused, and yet.)
