I like C, and I do think the hate mostly comes from the loud zealots in the Rust crowd, but this doesn't make sense to me. I hate car-centric planning, the fact that it's ubiquitous and that I drive around my city doesn't really affect the validity of my opinion.
- JohnFen 2y agoI often feel like a common argument I hear from Rust evangelists is that "C is the worst, and this isn't C". It's a very silly argument, in my opinion. Better ones are actually about what makes Rust good, not that the alternative are evil.
