There definitely is. Mainstream and official Rust community material is generally sane, but the meme did not come from nowhere. The rewrite-everything people are out there.

Everywhere. No idea why people over-reacted so much to one particular 0.1% fanatics. It's a pretty normal state of affairs. Point me at your hobby group and even if it is only 20 people I can bet my balls at least 1 of them is a fanatic.
- andrewflnr 2y agoOverreacting to fanatics is also a normal state of affairs, so don't act surprised. :) By their nature fanatics almost always make a disproportionate amount of noise, and if you're outside the community you often can't tell the difference: don't know which if any of the loudmouths members pay attention to, etc. And even more broadly, a small number of people can cause a lot of damage.
