> If you had the same reflex with other languages
I do, always, just out of curiosity because seeing peoples view on different languages is always insightful.
> This isn't specific to Rust in any ways.
From what I've seen, Rust comments are the most condescending.
> I'm not sure the latter is less childish than the former.
It is childish to look for specific information (in this specific case: how C and Rust are compared by others) in threads that grow to hundreds of messages?
FYI, I've also looked for C++ and Go comments in this thread, and none of them were a condescending comment like "C is bad, you should use Rust, C is evil and should not be sent to production".

You must have missed the “Java's GC is so bad, just use Go”, “Go's error handling is shit, use exceptions!” or “Rust is so complex it is unusable is the real world”, etc.
