So is any big enough community. Look at that "Why Go?" discussions, and you'll see a lot more loud, obnoxious C# devs, but somehow Rust is the worst. There was also a Rewrite it in LISP post[1] fan. Where is the "The Lisp community is unfortunately plagued by this subset of devs who are zealous (and downright toxic) in their shilling for their favorite language."

.....and you got triggered. Somehow in the past 3-4 years it's only been that subset of Rust devs that have been wailing about: "WHY NOT REWRITE IT IN RUST?". Often they're mostly the same type: anime pfp, walls of text of pompous technobabble as if they were some elite caste of arcane cyberpriests preaching the gospel of Rust, etc. There's a reason "just rewrite it in Rust" has become such a meme.

In this case, it's the sheer disconnect between RIIR askers, and the sheer number of people painting Rust devs with a continent wide brush. It's very in-group vs out-group reasoning. Let's demonstrate it. For example: I'm a Java dev, and I see a Java dev, being a moron, so I'll say "What a moron". But if that guy was a C# dev, I'm going to say "C# devs are morons".

Like it was true around the time of Rust 1.0. But that's been like 10 years ago. It isn't even the worst part about Rust community.

      > "SUBSET" is the word I used. So? There is a subset of X lang (both bigger and smaller than Rust), complaining why not rewrite in X. But only Rust devs ever get the flak. Because it's a played out meme, or something. Or it triggers the Rust dev, whatever.

FWIW, Go used to have that issue of "I'm a 10x dev writing type-safe compiled microservices in Go (not golang) wowzers". But that subset of devs has largely disappeared/moved on to other langs.
