I think what you're (and I'm) observing is this:
Many people know js
People don't understand C++
People sort of know C
Very few people know rust
Given that background, this is what I think is happening. A large group of programmers know and work with js, and so, whenever these projects crop up, the mode of comments is somewhere in the positive part of phase space, just by statistics. I personally think it's weird, but I don't drag on people for fun projects, and I usually hold my tongue here since you guys love your web things.
Since fewer people actually grok C++ and even fewer rust, when rust rewrites come out, it's a smaller, more systems/low level oriented set of folks with specialized knowledge, and therefore, they have more to say and shit to sling, and the typical comment is negative.
