This was an oddly defensive and vapid comment. Mostly just handwaving away any views the article brings up, of which at least the article expands on their thoughts. This comment is just "meh not a bad thing" repeatedly. Why is this comment being upvoted?

View on HN

The title is inflammatory and yet there are few nuanced takes in the article. It's weird to see it shoot to the top of HN.

I think the loglog article is a much better, nuanced, full critique of Rust.

The internet is just so full of negativity these days. People upvote titles but don't read articles. Reading about people's views on subjects is useful, but I don't think this one is.

Inflammatory? "My Negative Views on X" is pretty far from inflammatory. It is exactly what the post was, with some positivity sprinkled in as well.

It’s 2024. If I read some thing I don’t agree with on the internet it IS inflammatory.

Even comparatively, next to your own comment? I have no specific idea of what you object to or why, but I have learned that you are upset.
