Re:Why you should, actually, rewrite some of it in Rust

One of the reasons why I'm super hesitant of learning Rust is the attitude and emotional based opinions of the community. I picked up Python due to my work and I love it and I'd never think I would before trying it. But I also never in my travels seen Python people advertise it negative with "<somelang> SUCKS! FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE! GIT GUD AND USE PYTHONN!" about ANY widespread or niche language but instead they just keep positively gushing over Python: "how clear", "how succinct", "formatted by significant whitespace", "readable", "simple", "pythonic", "wide array of modules available", etc.
When someone in one message both recommends Rust and says that it's absolutely impossible to ever write correct programs in C or C++ that are more than few lines long what am I supposed to take away from that? Rust itself uses C++ written LLVM, is it unreliable too then? Seriously... And implicitly, anyone liking C or C++ is an idiot and a bad programmer.
