You're feeding a troll that's managed to derail the point/conversation with an incoherent offtopic comment... I really doubt they care what you or anyone has to say to them (which is evident from their replies). Their comments/replies give you just enough material to pull you in, and then they grapple you to their level. It doesn't even have to be intentional/conscious on their part, but they're definitely doing it. Not necessarily the troll's motivation, but: there's also a lot of "Rust envy"[1] going around from some people (mostly disgruntled C++ devs who feel threatened by it) who'll baselesly say anything and misrepresent something to prove their point. How does it never cross their mind that they're on the wrong side of things if they have to grasp for lies to prove their points? [1]: I came up with the term just now, but I'm not sure "envy" is the right word; maybe "petty spite" is a better term.
