You're right, it's a bit more nuanced. People I've met at Rust meetups have been great, and some of the prominent people in the community are wonderful (I really like Jon Gjengset's youtube streams for example). At the same time if you look at Rust discussions on twitter and reddit, I think they very often match what I'm describing. Sure, maybe twitter and reddit as platforms encourage some unhealthy patterns but twitter/reddit discussions for other languages aren't nearly as toxic as Rust's. So I still think there's something there.
- insanitybit 3y agoIMO that's just Twitter being a hyper inflammatory platform. Rust's community is also a lot more active online/on Twitter than other languages, so I think that'll bias things considerably.
- shakow 3y ago> on twitter and reddit There, this was your mistake. :p
- jstx1 3y agoI explained why "twitter and reddit bad" isn't a good enough argument.
