    Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it’s a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

    Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.

    Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

    8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the “Rust in Linux Lead” is ridiculous. I’m not saying you are harassing. But, saying it’s a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn’t do justice to how many devs just like rust.

      I only have something against the syntax, but nothing against anything else about it, nor is my comment meant as a negative against the language. What I referred to was simply about how that stupid sentence is not a good comment and completely personal opinion. I am sure a lot of programming languages would have gotten the same label at one point in time. And many times they have been superseded by the next big thing.
