I write Rust code. I don’t mind it. But the truth is, I use very little of the language.

I visit the Discord, and I see all the crazy overcomplicated shit these people are writing.

If I had to try and make heads or tails of some of that shit I’d go crazy.

I actually think some of it is actual trolling by Rust itself.

And yes, the people are toxic. It’s like they really believe C and C++ and everyone else did literally everything wrong. And some of their justifications are seriously weak sauce.

And remember, I like Rust. At least the parts I use. But it’s easily going to eclipse C++ in complexity if it continues the way it has been operating.



Yup, definitely the Rust users who are toxic. Totally not the people going into every thread about Rust to tell everyone about how toxic Rust users are. Nope.

But it is true, you see way more comments complaining about "the toxic Rust community" than said toxic community itself. At some point it just becomes annoying and tiring...


Fair enough, two different things can be annoying at the same time. It doesn't concern my original point.

Did you see any toxic Rust fan in this whole post? Because I didn't see any, but I saw several comments like yours.

You didn't talk about this thread in your previous posts, you talked generally about the community just like I did. However, to answer your question: Yes, I've spotted some, and they are rather annoying.

Ok, show me.

Go to bathroom and look into a mirror. Say "Hi" and wave.
