@mr64bit @dcc @nyanide It's been a long time since I saw someone like this. They seemingly mostly went away after the rewrite in Rust meme died out. Recently it's mostly people that actually write Rust trying to force Rust onto other projects, because muh memory safety and other stuff.
The last time I had any kind of discussion with someone that could be described as a Rust evangelist was during the Lina Linux drm threads. It was about why Rust shouldn't be used in Linux due to its non-existent ABI and other related stuff. They deleted their replies a few days after for whatever reason.
But I still like to shitpost about Rust every once in a while, because somehow barely funny posts make them react every time. That includes today's posts.
In the end, I don't have a problem when a project is written in it, but I still stand by my opinion that it shouldn't be used for low-level programming. It's just not a language for it. There's no stable ABI, interacting with Rust code outside of Rust is painful, static-linking everything is stupid and cargo is borderline garbage.
