I've seen that, too, but it looks to me that the hostility in that direction was a reaction to the hostility Rust folks have.
It takes two to tango, of course, but also devs are people, too. While it's not ideal, it's also understandable that people react poorly to being treated poorly.
- steveklabnik 2y agoThe context being discussed here is what happened recently in the kernel. If that outburst’s root cause was Rust folks being jerks to the C folks, that’s very different than what seemingly happened. I think both communities are too large and disparate to make sweeping claims like this in a more general sense, but I agree that people should not treat each other poorly.
