I think Rust community increasingly behave like this[1]. They are big on suggesting others the better 'ideas' instead of implementing themselves. So they keep using 'curl' and 'openssl' but tell others to rewrite their software with Rust. 1. http://dilbert.com/strip/1994-12-17 http://dilbert.com/strip/1994-12-17

I would say a portion of Rust community---that said, it is that portion that is the most visible, and I think the community well understands what it does mean.

  I'm not sure the community well understands it at all. The usual rejoinder is something along the lines of "well, I don't see that in the Rust community I'm in."

    Both /r/rust [1] and the official forum [2] are reasonably regulated and I often see less informed members got warned about their use of aggressive or insulting languages, often directed to non-Rust languages. There are surely other venues with less enforcement (they still commonly observe the Rust Code of Conduct however), but at least I think the main venues and corresponding community heavily tries not to be offensive.

Like, a lot of the rust community is putting the effort into rewriting things in Rust. From within the community I don't see any coherent effort to tell folks to rewrite in Rust. We're very happy to see Rust rewrites, but not many people are pushing for it except the folks actually putting effort into it. Yes, every time a vulnerability pops up someone will say "rewrite it in Rust", but half the time it's not even a Rust programmer (often, Rust programmers come and disagree and say "Rust wouldn't fix this", IME).
