>Who? Aggressive about what? Rust 'community' (subreddit?) members, sending nasty messages to the Actix developer. It was pretty clear the Actix developer was interested in making a fast, dependable web server that was especially good on benchmarks. If the community was so incensed that he did not follow the idiomatic safety standards (that are a language feature rather than a requirement of use), they had a perfectly easy tool to solve the issue: forking the project, to make a Safe-Actix. Naturally, they did not do this, because most of them are more interested in this idea of 'safety' rather than good software. I don't get paid to write any C code, and I don't have much interest in benchmarking, myself, but if I did, I would also be annoyed if I had to deal with nasty comments or worse by a bunch of internet randos insisting I follow a vague standard that makes them feel important.
