Obviously I have a lot of love for Rust - look at my OS projects - but this fact (and it’s a fact at this point) has to be one of the most annoying technical phenomenons I’ve come across.
Why does Rust exhibit this maybe more than any other community out there? My gut tells me that the “culture,” and in this way similar to Nix, is utterly entitled and obnoxious.
It’s hard to separate “Rust” from “Rust community.”
Look at their recent drama with the foundation. The community’s leadership is partly made up of cracked devs who ship, and cracked devs who ship and then won’t shut up about things entirely outside the code and what the code is supposed to do.
As a generalization, the rust community is the most insecure community. Consistently on defense for no reason at all.
