I tend to agree with the message in the article, even as someone who's in the past been a bit overzealous about evangelising Rust. The most striking point to me though was the one about not using tribalistic names like Rustaceans and Gophers. These never sat well with me because they sound silly, but I also see how they could be inadvertently reinforcing silloing across programming languages.
- seren 7y agoI agree and it echoes what Paul Graham said here [0] about ego. If your identity is tied to being a 'Xer' you are going to have a hard time working with 'Y' even if it is the best solution in this case. Don't identify as a Xer or Yer, but as someone solving problems and creating value. [0] http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html
