I 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.
