> I don't think the non-technical critique has been addressed at all. But I talked about syntax already, what do you...? > Nothing has been said about how to address the pathology seemingly unique to Rust making it suffocatingly toxic. It's the only programming language in recent memory where people scour the Internet condemning people for writing software in any other language Social aspects aren't immutable facts of language, but exterior ever changing things. It's like finding a game having helpful community. Only for it to become toxic later as player count increases. Same can be possible in other direction if Rust becomes more professional/boring. And honestly, I don't care about arguing memes and one incident that was widely panned by everyone close to Rust. RIIR isn't something you get branded with when you write your first Hello World, but something actively discouraged. That said as someone that's neither here nor there, anti-Rust backlash is palpable and might work exactly to ingrain said "Evanglism Strike Force" mindset into it. I find myself defending it more, even though I just want to use it. And don't care too much about community.
