Every interaction I’ve had with the rust community was toxic in nature. Also for whatever reason all those „rust vs go“ articles are always coming from the rust corner. It’s like the rust community is frustrated about go success and they individually feel the need to attack their perceived competitor meanwhile the go community has no issue with any other language.

  I don't get the logic of dropping a language you find great and you are productive in because of a few people

    You'll eventually have to cooperate with those people, whether it's on OSS or in the workplace. It's even worse when really senior figures in a community are also the source of the toxicity.

    Those people will (potentially) be your future co-workers... So it is a valid concern. That said, I have not interacted with the Rust community and cannot make any comments in that regard. Language is pretty nice though.

    I removed my comment since it wasn't being constructive here, and I realized it was off-topic for this post. I'll leave with this: I'm a super introvert who works from home, so I took my difficulties as possibly me needing to take a break. I actually track Rust quite closely since there's a lot of neat and innovative work coming out of it, and I hope to join the community since it seems like many have had a lot more positive of an experience.

That's odd. Where do you have these interactions? I'm frequently on the Rust forums and the few times I have seen something toxic brewing, someone has always stepped in to politely ask the fanbois (yes, they exist) to stop.

  Well then it might me a reddit thing because I've had both interactions on r/rust and in the comments of r/golang where rust fanboys derailed the the conversation

    Oh, reddit! Reddit is so full of trolls that I've mostly stopped contributing, except in a few subreddits that are properly moderated. Sorry you experienced that :/ For what it's worth, I don't think I've seen anybody from the core Rust community on /r/rust.
