It’s hilarious that you feel the need to preemptively take control of the narrative in anticipation of the Rust people that you fear so much.

Is this an irrational fear, I wonder? Reminds me of methods used in the political discourse.

People who make that kind of remarks should be called out and shunned. The Rust community is tired of discrimination and being the butt of jokes. All the other inferior languages prey on its minority status, despite Rust being able to solve all their problems. I take offense to these remarks, I don't want my kids to grow up as Rustaceans in such a caustic society.

In a sad sort of way, I think its hilarious that hn users have been so completely conditioned to expect rust evangelism any time a topic like this comes up that they wanted to get ahead of it.

Not sure who it says more about, but it sure does say a whole lot.

I don’t think evangelism is necessary anymore. Rust adoption is now a matter of time.

Rust feels a lot like Ruby (fancy/weird with a fanatical user base). Fil-C is a far more practical route to memory safety (a la Python in this analogy).
