This comment is itself a meta comment but here we go I guess...How is it possible that half the comments in this thread are about the title itself? It’s not even a made-up title, it’s taken straight from the project’s README...I keep seeing people complaining almost aggressively that others are touting Rust as a useful tool (which, to me personally, it certainly is). Does someone have a financial stake in opposing Rust’s development, or what?

  Rust's user community is toxic and unbearable. That's enough to explain the widespread resentment against it. Their fanboys are annoying. CommonLisp used to have a similar community problem.

    I write Rust code. I don’t mind it. But the truth is, I use very little of the language. I visit the Discord, and I see all the crazy overcomplicated shit these people are writing. If I had to try and make heads or tails of some of that shit I’d go crazy. I actually think some of it is actual trolling by Rust itself. And yes, the people are toxic. It’s like they really believe C and C++ and everyone else did literally everything wrong. And some of their justifications are seriously weak sauce. And remember, I like Rust. At least the parts I use. But it’s easily going to eclipse C++ in complexity if it continues the way it has been operating.

      Yup, definitely the Rust users who are toxic. Totally not the people going into every thread about Rust to tell everyone about how toxic Rust users are. Nope.

        But it is true, you see way more comments complaining about "the toxic Rust community" than said toxic community itself. At some point it just becomes annoying and tiring...
        13415 1mo ago
        Fair enough, two different things can be annoying at the same time. It doesn't concern my original point.

        Did you see any toxic Rust fan in this whole post? Because I didn't see any, but I saw several comments like yours.
        13415 1mo ago
        You didn't talk about this thread in your previous posts, you talked generally about the community just like I did. However, to answer your question: Yes, I've spotted some, and they are rather annoying.

    Yeah, I love Rust as a language but I engage with the community as little as possible. They are not pleasant to be around. Language is dope though, I really enjoy it.

  No, it's being downvoted because (a) who cares and (b) you wrote a wall of text that makes you look like you have schizophrenia.

I suppose it makes a change from complaining that the post was written by an LLM.

  But if it's written in rust and with llm then they both implode and we get really insightful comments

When I started writing MartyPC over four years ago, writing an emulator in Rust was still somewhat novel. The development of the 'egui' immediate-mode graphics framework made it possible to make one with an advanced interactive debugger. By mentioning Rust people have been able to more easily find MartyPC as an example of how (or how not to) write an emulator in Rust. Perhaps the tag as outlived its usefulness, especially if people find it pompous or something. I'm not trying to be Rust cultist, I swear.
