> that the Go and Rust crowd would be better served by showing positive blogs and examples

Are we reading the same Hacker News? The community practically fellates itself over these two languages with any project/blog in the title containing Go or Rust shooting up to the front page.

If you simply search "Rust" on HN search, the first 4 pages all contain positive blogs and examples, with 200+ points and 100+ comments, and the first negative one on page 4 being "Author of “Unix in Rust” Abandons Rust in Favour of Nim"[1].

If you aren't seeing the "positive" stuff I'd have to say its because you don't want to see them. Even more strange you say that the Go crowd just whines and complains about C/C++ when the community has given up trying to be a replacement for C++ years ago and has embraced the "I need compiled Python" crowd.[2]
