It's hard to make me hate something I've never engaged with and yet the Rust community has managed to do it with their overzealous love. It's a language guys.

It's a language guys. It won't give you a BJ
- jtsiskin 2y agoTo be more inclusive, consider using “it won’t go down on you” rather than “won’t give you a BJ”
- NotAnOtter 2y agoIt won't give anyone a BJ. Independent of if they could hypothetically receive one or not.
- dgfitz 2y agoI have always heard both terms used interchangeably ignoring gender. Maybe you need to broaden your own limited horizons instead of claiming others need to be more inclusive.
- thunkingdeep 2y agoWhich sort of proves the point that there aren’t really any tolerable or normal people using Rust.
- anonfordays 2y agoPoe's Law gold right here!
- NotAnOtter 2y agoYeah their comment struck me as a joke more than a real critique lmao. But I wasn't sure so I made my reply a joke.
- semitones 2y agonot every comment needs to be inclusive

- TypingOutBugs 2y agoI went on LinkedIn this morning and I saw four posts from people talking about how good Rust was compared to other languages and then a bunch of comments from people with crab emojis in their names. Four. Its community is insanely cult like, I have never come across it before (maybe some Lisp-evangelicals, but they are individuals and not entire groups).

Four. What a shame! Enthusiasm of all things. How dare they! Right in your LinkedIn feed! Not to worry though -- a little Java should snuff it right out though.
- kreetx 2y agoIt's the "my language is better" that irks, i.e, a judgemental enthusiasm.
- TypingOutBugs 2y agoI don't mind enthusiasm, but it's the way it's written so condescendingly of other languages. And you know it's just thinly veiled marketing to sell something (either a course, their services, etc).
- mustache_kimono 2y ago> I don't mind enthusiasm, but it's the way it's written so condescendingly of other languages. I don't know what was said, but I will say, a programming language is a tool in the toolbox. If a professional says "My Milwaukee power saw is better than anything Dewalt or Ryobi make", that's simply an opinion about a tool. No reason to take it personally if you like Dewalt. Rust does have some downsides, and I think it is better to focus on those than any language culture war, if you choose to vetch. As in -- I think saying things like "Rust makes certain large refactors more difficult" is much better than low grade whining about the Rust Evangelism Strike Force. > And you know it's just thinly veiled marketing to sell something (either a course, their services, etc).
