If only we could harness the people who still insist that rust is all hype and engage in impressive gymnastics to ignore all evidence to the contrary...

Some of the stuff people say about Rust reminds me of iOS users talking about Android. "Tell me you are operating from a place of near total ignorance, without telling me that you're talking out your butt".

See: the number of people, here, acting like you can't do raw pointers in Rust, or acting like it's militant woke youngins forcing poor big Google to adopt a safer, productive language.

Amount of dislike on HN for Rust is frankly unexpected, one part might be response to evangelization, but I've seen more hate on evangelization than actual evangelization. Sure, Rust ain't perfect but like C++ is even more imperfect. So that leaves me with job security in C++.

I don't see much dislike for Rust on HN. It's probably the most loved language around here.

Not sure where you looking but any Rust tangential topic gets its share of Nirvana fallacies, "bypassing borrow checker" and other such fallacies.
