I think it's an unfortunate side effect of Rust's reputation for being difficult to understand: this creates an appeal for a certain erudite elitist fandom.
The same type of attitude was quite prevalent among fans of RX programming in the mobile space a few years ago and led to fantastical claims that it was going to usher in a new era of programming.
But it's just one unfortunate facet of the Rust community which can also be extremely positive and helpful, especially for beginners.
- ghostwriter 6y agoThis is fun to observe sometimes, especially because Rust is not that difficult when compared to other research languages that move PL design forward. Truly, arrogance in a community is a good indicator of a completed research making its way into broad masses, who want to feel good by achieving something, while not being aware that the mount they are climbing up has already become a tourist attraction and what is left of a challenge is to follow the guidelines.
