Why exactly does HN always accuse Rust-related posts of astroturfing? This is completely bizarre to me.

  There are two posts from the same person on the front page linking to rust repos. It’s not insane to ask.

    Let me get this straight: One person displaying an interest in two projects using the same language is a red flag for astroturfing? Is it possible that it's someone who has invested in learning a language and is looking at projects in those languages? If someone posted two repos of projects written in JS would you feel similarly? Two projects in Perl?

      At such a close interval, yes.
