> The drama seems to always come from the rust evengelists, that won’t accept someone who don’t agree c++ should be banned and rust is the savior language…

This. This is what I find baffling that somebody can believe in. Every community has the 0.1% of insufferable zealots and Rust is no exception.

I worked with absolutely brilliant Rust programmers that made me question if I know anything at all about programming in general -- and I have 21.5 years of experience.

I keep seeing your sentiment expressed in a number of Rust threads which becomes more and more confusing with time because I scarcely see anyone at all advocate zealously for Rust but I am seeing plenty of people like you who keep insisting that Rust fans are torturing them. :D

It gets funny at one point.

I mean, try to be more data-driven. Scan the last 5 big Rust threads and just try to do basic sentiment analysis. I have, and I am mostly seeing very balanced and curious debates. I haven't noticed any zealotry. Last time I noticed people being as annoying was I think somewhere back in 2018.
