The rust fetishism feels so off in this case. You don't see "built with qml" taking up 1/10th of the page on Krita's frontapge

- whateveracct 5y agoI don't think it's that bad. It's so far down. And it's fair to call it out. Rust is new & a sub community of software with a shared set of values & ideals. I'd call out stuff built with Haskell for similar reasons. There is a community aspect to it that is undeniable.
- ncmncm 5y agoIn the article it is fine, but it is right there in the title, here. I thought titles here were supposed to match actual titles, mostly.
- pzone 5y agoThey’re probably marketing to potential contributors as much as to users at this point.
- tsujp 5y agoThis is the unfortunate reality of a lot of Rust projects. There are of course some who don't fetischise the language and there are of course community members on both sides but from the outside it makes Rust look so, so unappealing and almost like a cult. And that's without the "rewrite it in Rust" spam.
- pjmlp 5y agoCurrently the worse cult part is the subculture to push unsafe code blocks beyond the purpose of memory corruption. There is a Rust subculture that anything that might be unsafe from usage, regardless how, should be tagged as unsafe.
- spacemanmatt 5y agoAt least it's Graphite, written in Rust, and not RGraphite or GraphiteR. I feel like it hasn't been long enough since every Java app started (or ended, for libraries) with J.
- pjmlp 5y agoNot a GNOME or KDE user?
- blurbleblurble 5y agoI like that it's written in rust and that they advertise this. It's not "fetishism" as much as it is just interesting. It's also likely a big part of why they can have a "launch web editor button" that instantly works on my phone.
