A comment on Rust 1.55.0. Parent comment

Not sure who decided that everyone should suffer from the horrible turbofish operator (::<type>). C++ requires no such monstrosity.

If this operator had been introduced in a corporate language like Swiftlang, it would be the butt of jokes, but community languages like Rust can get away with this by using a cutesy name and everyone is simply too afraid to criticise Rust as they will be the target of intense group-hate.

Uh, maybe you genuinely don't realize this but you're replying to a comment remembering someone who passed away. Which is not the moment to start a syntax holy war.
