I'm not putting the bar high. I'm giving an example of people who love Rust criticising Rust. Person I replied to claimed that Rust fanboys didn't do this because they were zealots. That's not true, clearly. I've read a lot of criticism of Rust and most of it is from people who tried it for a weekend, couldn't understand the borrow checker and wrote some low quality criticism of it. If someone points out problems in that post, they are accused of zealotry and fanboyism. Read the post I linked. It covers all the issues and makes the strongest possible case against the language. Then tell me if you've ever seen one that is as negative, accurate and succinct as that one.

> I'm not putting the bar high. I'm giving an example of people who love Rust criticising Rust. Person I replied to claimed that Rust fanboys didn't do this because they were zealots. That's not true, clearly But that was OP's point.If your best example of Rust lovers accepting criticism of the language is the existence of a critical article written by a Rust lover, that does no say anything. The bar is naively high if the best example you got of tolerance to criticism was a critical article made by a member of the "tribe". The implicit point is that those kind of articles will be the ones playing "soft ball" with the language,so any perceived tolerance to criticism is almost meaningless.
