It's with a grudging sort of respect but nonetheless a massive respect that I acknowledge that Rust is the best-marketed thing on the Internet in my 30 years on it. The organization, sophistication, and effectiveness of the Rust marketing vehicle would trivially win political contests as big as a United States Senate race. vi/emacs, c/c++/java flame wars are as old as dirt, just like left/right politics in any polity you care to name with ballot stations. But where I live in the US, e.g. MAGA (or it's prototype "Tea Party") was Something New, and those that failed to realized that we'd changed paradigms got, pardon my francais, fucking clobbered.
