I think this is a common reaction to <insert thing> being evangelized. I can’t say it’s a good approach to deciding whether or not something is worthwhile or good or w.e, but maybe it’s better this way because it means that when the thing being evangelized doesn’t pan out, not everyone is caught up in the aftermath. That being said, I don’t have anything against Rust or the community, and if it’s a good tool for <job> then it will succeed with or without me or you. Personally I’m interested in how it’s progressing.
Edit: as with many things it’s not right to say that the loudest voices in the room are the community. It could be that this is the behavior you are seeing because somehow it’s managing to get people worked up or engaged in some other way on social media you use, and you find that annoying. If you don’t want to learn the language and engage with the community then you don’t have to, but calling the whole community annoying because people are excited about what they are doing and what they’ve learned and the possibilities they see is… ehhh
