This is unnecessary, it's not advertising on Rust. The README directly explains why they describe `eza` as modern. It makes no mention of Rust or memory safety.

Personally, I use eza because of `--tree` and `--git`.

That reaction was your choice, not the project's.

fwiw we're glad we're scaring people like that away :p

You really shouldn't. You're adding to the stereotype that Rust developers are insufferable and not to be collaborated with. Scaring away good developers from your projects is a bad thing, not a good thing.

Yeah, you only need the true believers :p

Everyone else will be condemned to read and reread the latest C++ standard for all eternity!
