In some industries, companies _must_ be conservative by regulation or by contract: it is _not_ a choice. Trying to sell Rust by saying it is used “in satellites” is simply a PR stunt, and one that discredits your other work.
Prove Rust is controlling critical systems _today_ (the kind that requires paperwork to be signed or insurances to be paid). Otherwise, please stop spreading bullshit.
As for flamewars, what are you even talking about? I have not said a single thing in favour of any language. Have you read the thread?

And this breaks the site guideline against calling names in arguments, as well as returning to personal attack: "Otherwise, please stop spreading bullshit".
Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Your comments need to be considerably more respectful if you want to keep posting here. There are plenty of ways to express your views about programming languages thoughtfully, including if you disagree with someone. It's not hard, if you take the spirit of this site to heart. We'd appreciate it if you'd do that.
As for the rest: I don’t see how asking for proof can be considered “bullying”.
Please review the definition of bullying, because you are trivializing it and therefore hurting actual victims of bullying.
Thank you on behalf of them.
Finally, since it seems HN are in the business of deleting fair comments, I will leave the site and do my best warn others of what is happening here.
Good luck.
I'm not really gonna bother to reply when there's accusations like this.
I do understand everything you're saying. We're not in disagreement about the context. I (or more accurately, bluejekyll, we're talking about the same thing) did provide such a citation, you can take it or leave it.
