This doesn't surprise me. Rust's toxic community was one of several reasons that made me turn away from the language. When people ask on a Go forum (e.g. r/golang) whether they should switch to or write a project in Go, they tend to get good and professional advice, and often this advice is to stick with the existing language and approach. I don't know why this is so, but with Rust you mostly get zealots with zero ability to evaluate the Pros and Cons of their language of choice.

I don't know which community is toxic and wouldn't even risk using such strong term.

Still, I have to say, it's really weird to see (last few months) everything being rewritten into Rust, just for the sake of pride(?).

Haven't we learned anything from the NodeJS craze?

It's to prevent all memory safety bugs.

And to increase binary size by 5x.
