... complains about people using tropes and tired cliches in posts while using the worst of them, themself

I do not complain. I've seen this trend multiple times by now. First time was with Ruby on Rails I think [1], then the cancer that led us to write JS to output HTML and all the good stuff that came and still manages to pour from npm. Every now and then you can spot the "fashion" out of these things. Rust is good and has earned its place. I just despise cult-like followings for these languages and technologies.

  There's no need for you to blather about "woke" and drag in US culture wars nonsense. It's distasteful, glib, and frankly not very intelligent, and just subtracts from whatever your point was.

    As I said above, cult-like. They will swiftly call you names if you even dare to question their beliefs. Thank you for proving me right kind sir.

      Your post is "flagged" to oblivion, just like my earlier post questioning the "inclusive" culture of the Rust community. What is it called when a person or group's actions don't match their words?

        > Your post is "flagged" to oblivion Personally, I think downvoting insults is more inclusive than not downvoting insults. > just like my earlier post You made an entire submission asking users of a specific programming language to defend themselves. It's a bad HN submission. Flagging it is neither inclusive nor uninclusive. It's just marking it as a bad submission. How do those actions fail to match words? What words do you have in mind? Also the HN users that flagged it probably don't even use Rust.

        So your magic ball tells you why did people hit the "flag" button on my post. Thank you for sharing that. For a moment I thought every hint of criticism towards Rust is suppressed or censored by the Rust zealots.
