Could you reconsider downvoting people who don't know about something and have a legitimate curiosity? It makes HN a really off-putting place to post.

- smt88 6y agoI didn't downvote you. The thing is that your tone doesn't seem to come across a genuinely interested. It seems like you're just throwing uninformed opinions at people without leaving an opening for discussion. For example, you talk about not wanting to throw away the C ecosystem. Instead, you could say, "What about all the great C libraries that we're never going to rewrite in Rust? Are Rust users throwing all that work away?" And then someone would correctly inform you that the Rust community doesn't want to throw all that work away and has spent a ton of time on interop.
