Man "rustaceans" really became the vegans of programming languages. It's never "Rust is awesome", it's mostly "Language X is shit so use rust." Anyone else not

  Veganism always struck me as focused on people making ethical claims. Whereas the love for Rust comes completely from people trying to get away from existing pain that they're experiencing (at least in my experience).

    I've certainly seen people make the claim that not using Rust is unethical. In both cases you only hear/remember loudest and most annoying people anyway. There's definitely some Rust people who are annoying. There are also some vegans who are annoying. It's foolish to focus on only those people.

  > It's never Is it really? > Anyone else notice this unique phenomenon? This reminds me quote from Pi movie: "You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere." > I can't think of any other language community that does this. Comments under this particular PR are mentioning at least two languages like "why don't you us this <lang> instead?" Also what does this have to do with veganism? For every vegan person there is huge amount of people on the internet, like you, that have urge to mention it.
