The whole obnoxious dogmatic evangelicalism thing is definitely a wider human phenomenon outside software and junior devs picking up new languages.

Definitely isn’t one of those things that can be solved, but it’s helpful to be aware of and process on that basis. I think some personalities are likely disproportionately vulnerable to this behaviour, but I think it largely has a positive core of enthusiasm. It’s probably more a matter of those individuals growing in self awareness.

Perhaps we saw a big wave of that with rust because it meant a lot of things to a lot of different people, some more equip to express their enthusiasm with some self control than others.
