> the Rust community putting a lot of effort into making memory safety a priority for everyone in the industry

It would help if they did that in a manner that resembled harrassment a bit less. I realize most of the community means well but by now it should really be clear that they picked the wrong way.

Rust community harassment? Must have missed when rust developers harassed the maintainer of actix so bad he quit and temporarily deleted the project repo.

An unfortunate incident, but was that repeated? To my knowledge the community has significantly calmed down after that incident, exactly because it was an unprecedented drama and many agreed that the drama is bad.

Nope, didn't miss that, have been a part of rust since 2014. I don't consider any of that harassment at all, let alone harassment with regards to other languages. I'm not going to reshash the discussion as this happened years ago, geofft summarizes things pretty well in that thread, but this has all been discussed to death anyways. And, again, that's still not an example of Rust users "harassing" anyone for using other languages.
