Aside from hatred of Rust and Rust developers there is a bigger problem. The Rust guys are twisting the C developers' arms to iron out API semantics because there is so much behavior and API usage that can't be defined in C and it's driving C devs insane. The Rust people are doing the right thing but doing the right thing is extremely annoying for the C devs.
The last drama wasn't about the guy not liking drama, he just don't like nor want to maintain a codebase with two languages, but I think they really need to say it directly instead of calling it canser and leaving people to think he was calling rust cancer and not multiple languages codebase cancer
Im pretty sure he specifically said the cancer was trying to inter-op 2 languages in a code base and not Rust. Even went on to say that he thinks Rust is good and recommends people implement new Greenfield projects in it.
