Could you point me at the members of the Rust project doing so? I'd want to have a word with them (I'm a member of t-compiler).

They aren't. It's some random rust users vs the leader of the Zig project, leader of the Fil-c project, the head of community at Zig, etc. But they like to pretend there is an equivalence on the Rust side.
Sorry for not being clear, I meant the creators of Fil-C and Zig (since those are the ones mentioned in the article)
IIRC, ralfj was insinuating that Java was memory unsafe and arguing about it with experts on HN not too long ago. But I think he was coming off hot from the T-spec debacle so I understand it as him wanting to blow off steam.
The most toxic Rust leaders exited from the project a few years back, though some are flaming more freely than ever, e.g., Go barely deserves to exist, “SQlite is a terrible example” etc
