Maybe I'm just old, but I want to focus on engineering outcomes, not "trolling." If that means "can't take a joke," that's fine, but also "haha I'm just joking"

Maybe I'm just old, but I want to focus on engineering outcomes, not "trolling." If that means "can't take a joke," that's fine, but also "haha I'm just joking" is often what people use to try and hide behind their actual intentions. I don't even work on Rust anymore, and in fact started this thread with a criticism of Rust. There are lots of good criticisms of Rust. There is a difference between "this criticism isn't good" and "every criticism is an offense."

    Saying something that you don’t believe isn’t trolling.

      You said "I just post facts". It is not a fact that the Rust community is lobbying to make programming in C illegal. Do you understand why some people in that community might consider that trolling?
