So far, you're the only one who has mentioned Rust. Don't troll; it's not worth the effort.
Hot take: your attitude is why people push back on the Rust community when they're in HN so much.
What exactly should the takeaway be? Stop making things in Rust because people on HN will complain?
Why are you so negative about Rust and people who advertise it?
perhaps it's applied to rust more often because rust evangelists are... louder.
Not only did the user you replied to not mention Rust, as far as I can tell they are not an active Rust user. The Rust community has a clear policy against language zealotry. Your claim that "proponents [of Rust] [are] talking smack about everything else all the time" wants for evidence.
I know it's not entirely fair, but seeing stuff like this makes me wary of the Rust community.
That's not an advertisement from me, but pointing out that people hype Rust on here.
Did you just leave out the Rust evangelists?
Honestly I thought you referring to Rust as an ugly language would send more replies your way.
