Directly addressing the topic of a upvoted article is starting random language fights?

The article is about Go, and while the article mentions other languages for comparison, Rust is not one of them. So traceroute66's comment comes across as starting a Rust vs. Go fight where not appropriate.

Not even, they just expressing an opinion.

Doesn’t come across as starting a fight to me. Not even close.

Yeah the only thing is how you parse "eminently usable and comprehensive". The way I read it, it's not saying that Rust's isn't "eminently usable", but that it isn't both of those things. At most it's suggesting that a standard library can't be "eminently usable" if it isn't comprehensive IMO - perhaps it can be extremely usable but not eminently usable. It would be like saying a manual transmission on a car can't be "eminently usable".

I think the comparison is totally apt and illustrates why Rust and Go get compared very often. They are both languages that compile to a binary, rather than running in a managed environment.

Where does the word Rust appear in the article?

In the comments about every article including Go, generally.

I can't speak for Go-centric articles in general, but for this one in particular, the only one (as of now, after 14 hours of comments) bringing up Rust is this single person with (apparently) a weird chip on their shoulder.

That's no language fight. Rust doesn't want batteries included. That's highlighting a difference between the languages.
