it's so tiring that every time there's a post about something being implemented in Zig or C or C++, the Rust brigade shows up trying to pick up a fight.

It’s a site where programming nerds congregate to waste time arguing with each other. Where do you think you are?
This same pattern used to play out with Ruby, Lisp, and other languages in different eras of this site. It will probably never stop and calling it out seems to just fan the flames more than anything else.
Maybe just a reflex by people that had to hear a decade of "why not C++" whenever it was mentioned that Rust is being used?
I don't know, man. At this point I'm liable to ask "Why are you using C++?" if you start a new project. Let them defend their language!
As part of the "all software should be liable brigade", it is a matter of misplaced goals after the cybersecurity agencies started looking into the matter.
