The article got me in touch with one of the hyper devs, and we had a very friendly conversation that taught me a lot. If questioning some design decisions and calling a marketing blurb a little disingenuous is mocking and condescending, they didn't seem to think so.

  Turns out we regularly play flight sims together on weekends, but didn't know about each others' software misadventures - small world, isn't it? If the reason I blogged about my coding hobby was to "get my 15 minutes on HN", I would be a deeply unhappy person.

      You broke the site guidelines badly and repeatedly in this thread, for example in your aggressive comments to the article author, and in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39139646 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39139646 which was really totally unacceptable. This is not cool. You're a good contributor, and I appreciate that you don't do this all the time, but we've also had to warn you multiple times about this kind of thing in the past. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

  > It contributed nothing worthwhile, but I’m happy it got you your 15 minutes on HN. That is a very rude dismissal, followed by a bad faith implication of the author's motivations. You can do better. I got something worthwhile out of it. I'm learning Rust and, like the author of the blog post, tend to value safety (simplicity hopefully being a contributor to that) over that last bit of performance. I was actually looking over the source of some of the libraries I'm considering using, am concerned about some things I found, didn't know about ureq, now I do, and I think it's going to fit my needs. Thanks, mrkline!

    I got a lot out of it too. I have been using Rust, casually, for about eight years. Sometimes in Rust it is hard to find simple things that solve simple problems.
