people are allowed to love things without being experts or even particularly didactic about it lmao

I'm not sour about people enjoying things. Would you not feel peculiar about people who are really enthusiastic about a sous vide machine and use it to heat water for their tea? And when asked about their favourite cut of steak they like to sous vide, they'd stare blankly and proclaim that they are vegan? There's nothing wrong with using tools any which way you want, but the reason d'entre for Rust is fearless concurrency, and the distinction between borrowing and moving, with the addition of Send and Sync marker traits, is kind of the whole point of the langauge. I agree that it could still be a good language without these, but if it wasn't for these features, I doubt there'd be nearly as much enthusiasm behind it.

Rust is slightly unusual in that most users/potential users of it tend to be very vocal about it. It would be nice if their knowledge matched their enthusiasm.

Or that the only users you know about are vocal…because how would you know about the non-vocal ones?

like that's how you get the knowledge, you're enthusiastic about a thing and then spend a bunch of time with it and then you build up knowledge. it's healthier in that order.

Ohhh please this is language wars, people don't want healthy arguments, they just want to pick a side and argue, just to earn internet points :D
