Do we have any understand about how exactly rust managed to get this strange psychological grip on peoples brain?
In case you don't know what I mean I'm talking about how the whole rust hype managed to create these strange people that:
* bringing it up at any possible opportunity
* consistently shilling for it
* thinks it will magically fix "security", which they don't have a proper working knowledge of
* unable to understand that there are other safe languages (and have been for decades)
* get extremely angry at anybody who doesn't buy into its hype
It's a good language and people are interested in discussing it.
It has improvements over what Ada offers; most other safety-focused languages without GC never really took off outside academia.
It can't solve all security problems but it's a marked improvement over C and to a lesser extent C++.
Bringing it up and shilling it in this particular case is all on you.
