I'm more annoyed by people who seem to think it's necessary to complain about Rust whenever there's a post about it.

Especially on this post, where the article is about as zeal-free as can be.

I have been annoyed by this before, but now it's mostly obvious troll or sarcastic posts.

Rust haters' cult on the other hand...

I think every language has its... people. Javascript, VB, you name it.

That said, Rust is the only language I've ever actively avoided because of its community.

Curious if you have any examples since I didn’t read any zeal from the posted essay.

What are you referring to? Pointing out ways one's language is better is not necessarily arrogance. It's just communication.

Certainly. One probably could writre a PhD thesis in sociology about this community given how "particular" its interactions are with the outside world.
