Even assuming you're right about the content of this talk, > showed me that Rust is mostly recommended by people who don't know what they're talking about You do realize that this is, like, colossally, stereotypically bad reasoning, right? It's ad hominem and improper generalization simultaneously, which is really quite impressive and indicates a singular degree of motivated reasoning. Yes, lots of Rust evangelists are idiots (not Catherine West, u/spoiler did a decent job showing that). No, that doesn't significantly affect the technical properties of the language that make it useful or worth learning about. There are good reasons to ignore Rust, yours is not one of them.
