This is really saddening to hear.

I am one of the devs who got attracted to Rust's advantages over C/C++ (no double free or use after free, guaranteed memory ownership, relatively fearless concurrency) and have been using it increasingly to the point of now professionally working with it.

But I never felt the need to degrade others for not using it. I do have my strong opinions about when and where it should be used but I almost never escalate them to flaming (sadly it occasionally happens even to the best humans).

I'd hate it if such an excellent technology's well-deserved adoption is held back because its core user base is viewed as zealots.

:(
