> I do not go around posting "omg Rust is SO MUCH BETTER than zig or fil-c, which are TRASH." I talk about engineering tradeoffs, and what matters to me personally. I do not say "if you use Zig, you are a bad person." I am not saying that any comparison is bad. I am saying that the way that the comparison is presented is bad. That is different.

Oh, who is saying things like that? Do you mean to imply that this kind of vitriol is characteristic of the Fil-C project?

Yes, this kind of rhetoric comes out of the project itself and its supporters, regularly.
Not really. I mean if you want to make that claim, use actual quotes.
