The worst of the RIIR fan boys are intensely annoying, but they annoy the crap out of every rust developer I know just as much.
I've been through enough waves of asshole fan boys for different things now that I can mostly tune them out, but they're basically never the people actually getting things done so even on the days I can't tune them out I try not to let them reflect badly on the project.
Similarly, Rick and Morty is still funny to me even if I do basically have to block any vocal fan of it I encounter on twitter.
- ziml77 5y agoI wish I could stop these people. They accomplish the exact opposite of what they're trying to do, making people steer clear of Rust. Rust doesn't need that kind of help in scaring people off. As nice as the language is, it can take some time to warm up to when you're used to not having a compiler second-guess everything you're trying to do.
- mst 5y agoIf it's any consolation, the repeated evidence I've seen that your response here is typical of basically everybody getting real work done in rust does help me to ignore the muppets.
- mbrodersen 5y agoI agree. I have so far stayed clear of Rust because of the apparent arrogance of the Rust community. It hasn’t quite reached the level of arrogance demonstrated by the Lisp community (yet) but it sure seems to want to be a contender.
- mst 5y agoCalling those idiots "the rust community" is extremely unfair to the rust community and exactly what this thread was pointing out was a mistake. Please don't be as bad as they are.
