The point is that the guy who was bombarded by feedback that VW Golf is good did not go out of his way to avoid buying it. He did his own research, formed his own informed opinion, and didn't go against the grain due to misguided notions.

Wink wink.

You are bombarded by feedback too, such that these endless discussions are just tiring and mentally exhausting, and improving a language by overfocusing on security is just a massive waste of time. (In some areas, it could make the difference between economic viability or not, or between possibility of explorative prototyping and mental exhaustion from friction during development).

I am assuming that you did your own research, formed your own informed opinion, and ignored the feedback nevertheless because you know who is right :-)

As a diligent programmer I research my tools and make my own conclusions when they are good and when they are inappropriate for the task at hand. Like everybody else should.

I don't even use Rust for a while now, by the way, because its lower speed of iteration was an ill fit for my contracting work. I love what it's doing but it is not a silver bullet (but then again, what is?).

...and by the way, mental exhaustion is pretty much a given if you are a pro. That's one of the reasons we are paid gobs of money.

As for the "feedback" you are alluding to, it's more like people throwing feces at me but feel free to disagree. None of them have addressed my questions except maybe one. They all rushed into snark just like you did. Even 1000 such comments are not interesting or informed feedback and can't advance any discussion.

I am still here and still open to discuss... with the people who bother to discuss.
