Gregory's Server@fl0_id @cwebber but you are probably correct on your second point, which is that all of those people are going to move on to the next Next Big Thing once rust loses its luster. Right now rust's community feels a lot like how things were with Haskell about 8 or so years ago. Lots of master debaters proselyting. It almost feels like they all jumped for rust at some point. Maybe that's what happened to go, too.

 @fl0_id @cwebber digression aside, this a "a few bad apples spoils the bunch" type of situation, because everyone who puts up with it eventually internalizes it and starts doing it. You see friends get hooked by it and start posting self righteous opinions. I've been harassed by people I thought were friends just by thinking aloud about evolving my own C++ application design philosophy to be more resilient to memory safety bugs. |
@fl0_id @cwebber incidentally, I'm a lot more curious to learn about Haskell now since it seems like it's possible to have a casual conversation about it in the open without a bunch of jerks in my mentions trying to disseminate talking points.
