I could just as easily throw around words like “anti-intellectual” if my goal was to distract from the point rather substantially replying.
But the attitude is an invitation to getting made fun of. It’s absurdly intellectually dishonest when Rust-as-Religion people actively hassle anyone writing C and then get a little precious when anyone mentions Haskell and then extremely precious when they step on the landmine of the guy who likes Rust enough to know the standard, the compiler, the build tool, the people who wrote the build tool, and generally enough to put it in its place from a position of knowledge.
SSH servers? Yeah, I’d go with Rust. Web browsers? In a perfect world, lot of work. Even for Mozilla who timed the fuck out on it.
Everything ever so no security problem ever exists ever again? Someone called it the “green energy of software security” on HN like this year.
It’s not the coolest look that one of my “blow off some steam” hobbies is making those people look silly, but there are worse ways to blow off some steam.
Comparisons to other languages like Haskell don't really work, since they don't fit in the same space nor have the same goals as Rust or C.
It seems you are just raging and reading subtext and drama where there is none.
Further up someone mentioned Rust and Haskell aren't similar and you go on about Rust-religion and where to use Rust. Why don't you just address the point? "Lego" is also not a synonym or metaphor for simplified.
