What is that anger about Rust on internet forums about?

I started learning Rust because it's a language with interesting characteristics and welcoming documentation.

Only then I've discovered it's apparently "controversial" for some reason...

Members of the rust community were often accused of being overly-enthusiastic in recommending that things be rewritten in rust, so much to the point it more or less became a meme unto itself.

Now, visceral anti-rust gut reactions are more commonplace than inappropriate suggestions to use rust are. Even that is petering out, though.

Dammit. Was writing a similar yet a bit more extensive elaboration on my phone, but accidentally refreshed the page a-a-and... it's gone :') Truly a RRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE moment.

Basically, 'this ^', but wanted to add that the post was a lighthearted jab and a comical insinuation. Which, by the way, according to the little rollercoaster of upvotes and downvotes, seem to have raised a micro controversy of it's own. Which adds another layer of comedy to the entire situation.

A-A-ANYWAY. Since I was a bit upsetting, adding a (hopefully) evening out, on-topic suggestion.

For tuning my guitars, I often use gStrings app [0]. For some reason it's much better at 'catching' freqencies than the alternatives. Can't recall all the names, but I've tried most of the popular ones (such as Guitar Tuna, the Fender's one, etc). Might wanna check it out and see if there are some tricks to borrow :)
