This comment is itself a meta comment but here we go I guess...How is it possible that half the comments in this thread are about the title itself? It’s not even a made-up title, it’s taken straight from the project’s README...I keep seeing people complaining almost aggressively that others are touting Rust as a useful tool (which, to me personally, it certainly is). Does someone have a financial stake in opposing Rust’s development, or what?

When I started writing MartyPC over four years ago, writing an emulator in Rust was still somewhat novel. The development of the 'egui' immediate-mode graphics framework made it possible to make one with an advanced interactive debugger.

By mentioning Rust people have been able to more easily find MartyPC as an example of how (or how not to) write an emulator in Rust.

Perhaps the tag as outlived its usefulness, especially if people find it pompous or something. I'm not trying to be Rust cultist, I swear.

I suppose it makes a change from complaining that the post was written by an LLM.

But if it's written in rust and with llm then they both implode and we get really insightful comments
