I started periodically asking the same question and I get 20-25 upvotes and then eat 15 downvotes some hours later. One recent example (if ~75 days is recent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46291249).

It is a very weird case of aggressors pretending to be victims.

Did I see zealous Rust comments? Sure! 4-5 on HN in the last 5 years maximum. On Reddit it could be 10-15 for the same period but the discourse there is not very civil or informative anyway so I started ignoring them and not thinking them representative.

On HN I see regular Rust hate while claiming that zealots are everywhere... and like you, I just can't see it.
