The endless crusades are indeed tiresome.

Yes, the immediate and endless backlash we get whenever anybody says the word "Rust" is quite tiresome.

Ah yes, the signature snark from the Rust community. This is the type of thing that repels people.

Most of the repelling is happening on the anti-Rust side. The hate and vitriol has chased away Wedson Almeida Filho, Alex Gaynor, Hector Martin and Christoph Hellwig from the Rust in Linux project.

And it's happening here too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46048336 makes clear that most of the commentary here is just plain wrong, yet it's not upvoted to top.

And for each of those names there are 100 rust zealots tainting their legacy with their behavior.
