Rust is an amazing tool that sadly has the most toxic self-righteous community in PL. Like doxxing that kid for daring to post he refactored his pet project from Rust to Go.

You never dealt with C programmers, did you?
Every community has these assholes. In my experience, the Rust user base is nothing but polite, understanding and pragmatic. There's no smugness, explicit or implied. The Rust lore is just a joke that's getting less funny every day someone takes it seriously.
I feel like it's far easier to find more zealously anti-Rust people than zealously pro-Rust people - hating Rust has almost turned into a meme.
Yet, almost every Rust thread here serves as a evidence that your experience doesn't reflect reality.
Frankly, I see _a lot_ more uninformed attacks on Rust than actual Rust evangelism / snobbery. And most of these anti-Rust comments reek of personal insecurities and low-effort trolling. Like saying that Java is slow. It's getting old real quick.
