Looking at https://lwn.net/Articles/893346/ https://lwn.net/Articles/893346/, I'd definitely describe mjg59 as unreasonably bashing unsafe languages (like some Rust users), though he says at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31251199 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31251199 that he doesn't know Rust.
- nindalf 4y agoYeah, the linked comment says it pretty clearly > I will say that I've never written a line of Rust in my life and certainly can't be described as representing the Rust community in any way. If this is the best example out there then it does feel like GP was arguing against a strawman. But even otherwise, please let’s acknowledge that in any large community there’s going to be a minority who are loud and rude. It doesn’t advance the conversation much to point it out. They don’t represent the whole community any more than the comment I linked to represents the whole HN community. All I can say is that whenever I’ve seen such rudeness it’s moderated out pretty quick, whether here or elsewhere.
