But I feel like there's some deeper story about Rust that I've missed and am out of the loop now.

Well, to me Rust is just a tool that I've discovered, it meet my expectations so I started using it.

Only then I've started noticing comments on reddit or whatever like "bleh, not Rust again" and really don't get why a programming language can be so triggering to people.

Honestly I think jstx1 nailed it. There have been a lot of posts here and elsewhere of the form "I [re]wrote ${mundane tool} in Rust!" and while there's nothing wrong with that people (especially ones NOT interested in Rust) are tired of it. I felt the same way about Erland a few years back. So it's part of the natural ebb and flow I think.
