I upvote minor Rust releases when I like something in the blog post/release notes, certainly not just because it is Rust. Maybe other people do the same.

- simion314 6y agoI don't want to argue or get downvoted by the Rust fans, just let me share my impressions , we see a lof of submission on the fitst base that are fo form "X made in rust". If X is a kernel or some critical library is fine that you emphasize rust but in the other cases X should be upvoted on it's merits not the fact somebody is learning Rust and poorly re-implements X . Would you like to see the same X this time in Y? Do you want to see every point release of other languages? any point release of some framework? any My first Hello World in X ? I think new releases (not point releases ) are fine and personally i am intereseted to see what's up with Firefox and Rust - I see the new Firefox releases but nothing int he artciles mention the Rust progress. Btw I do not downvote or flag any submissions, if the community upvotes them then I have to accept it even if I disagree.
- jacquesm 6y agoMaybe Rust fans could set up a mailing list instead of polluting the HN submission mechanism? There is no other language that I'm aware of that does this and 'what if everybody did this?' is usually a very good indicator of whether or not a certain behavior is acceptable or not. Consider: Rust fatigue is going to harm Rust adoption, not help it, publish your major releases widely, keep point releases of social media such as HN. The same thing happened to Perl with its zealotry, and it never recovered.
