> when attempting to ask questions there
Could you please give an indication of which venues you've encountered this kind of condescension in? I don't tend to see this in the spaces I frequent, but I know it is happening, and I wish it weren't. We try, sometimes, to provide some official messaging discouraging this kind of condescension, but perhaps there's something more we can do.
I don't do this usually because it's not constructive and incites flamewars, but since it was asked, this is whats 5 minutes of browsing comments got me.

More handwaving of Rusts shortcomings. Plus contradiction on the same sentence:
> "Rust is not antithetical to iteration-based programming, it just makes you write a lot of heavy boilerplate to explicitly support that kind of style."
In my view, here's an example from this HN comment section: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40177534
If this is the kind of attitude I would get from using Rust and having to be part of the Rust community, then I think I will pass.
I think I found it:
>> Their lack of care for perf
>> I have to explain yet again
My understanding is that he rather asked for specific examples (maybe post on reddit, rustlang forum), maybe I am wrong. I think giving actual examples would be more beneficial so we see the actual context clearly.
