Yeah, it is as if there were never other compiled languages before to rewrite JavaScripting tooling.

The word 'excited' in GP's post isn't decorative.

I am fully aware of it, there have been many 'excited' posts in HN history about various programming languages, with related rewrite X in Y, the remark still stands.

Why do people get so mad that other people enjoy a language? If I’m more likely to rewrite some tooling because of the existence of a programming language and it’s more performant, isn’t that good for everyone?

We are programmers we are supposed to like programming. These rust haters are intolerable.

Because it gets tiring to have all those Rewrite X in Y, as if X was the very first language where that is possible.

Is anyone forcing you to rewrite anything in rust?
