The Rust Discord is one of my favourite places on the internet. I've met so many helpful, friendly, interesting and incredibly smart people here. And this is coming from someone who's had a lot of frustrations on my rust journey, and who does evil things like use small unsafe blocks instead of bringing in dependencies - they even refused to ban me for this!

There are definitely a few loud, unpleasant voices in the rust community. But quite frankly the Rust discord was a lot more pleasant than the Zig one.

YMMV, I do have a fondness for Zig, and I honestly did find Loris's "safety coomer" comment really funny. But I've had such good experiences with rustaceans that I feel I must defend their honour every time it's besmirched like this.
