The use of Rust in crypto is a direct attack on the tribe of C/C++.

Lots of crypto people are loudly saying "C/C++ is inferior to Rust" and putting real money down on that position.

Heh. Didn't think about it that way. I'll remember to put "fake money" in quotes next time.

However, the crypto people genuinely believe that they have something worth stealing and that Rust helps keep what they have from getting stolen. That is a direct downvote by highly motivated and self-interested actors against C/C++.
