I have bad experience interacting with members of the rust community. Biggest issue is that they don't keep their opinions to themselves and frankly make everyone misserable with their "join us now, you must" mentality.
- LAC-Tech 4y agoI have mixed experiences. The evangelism on HN and reddit can be stifling. Particularly the overemphasis on "safety". The community on discord was very helpful though, when I was struggling. I feel like the community is large enough that you can find a lot of more normal people using it, and just avoid the zealots.
- raphlinus 4y agoYeah, the way I sometimes describe this is that Rust social media can be pretty toxic, but the actual Rust community is generally very friendly and supportive. The problem is that a lot of people confuse the two.
- urthor 4y agoI should definitely say, if I'm talking about the "community," I mean real people not anonymous Twitter accounts.
- pitaj 4y agoI don't think safety or correctness can be over-emphasized.
- urthor 4y agoI'd say it definitely can, 99% of tasks in programming can be done with a garbage compiler after all. Different conversation though.
