Thank you, you're right. I was thinking later that "toxic" was the wrong word; it has a lot of baggage. I wish I would have changed it before the editing window expired.
I think "infighting" or "divisive" are better options, given the past month or two. Hardly a week goes by without rust drama (which has little to do with the actual language and more to do with the community/leadership). The ecosystem is so new that the foundation hasn't been set yet. It's an infant learning to walk, so things will change quickly and drastically.
This is not unique to rust by any means, of course, but just the growing pains of any project.
