There are people who are designing nice native compiled languages with a proper knowledge of PL design and implementation, for example: Zig Odin Nim Crystal And then there is V author, who claimed highly improbable and sometimes CS-defying features, and got popular and also got donations. If you say rust crowd is overenthusiastic and cult-ish, you haven't seen those teenagers on vlang discord. All this while not having 1% of technically talented people in Rust community (which I often dislike for too much enthusiasm). When Andrew Kelly (creator of zig, I know him only on this site and zig project, no affiliation) criticized V of hype, and he got downvoted / criticized here for being politically incorrect.
