alt Hacker NewsFrom their post on Twitter in 2024 when they adopted Swift, with a comment on Rust.
My general thoughts on Rust:
- Excellent for short-lived programs that transform input A to output B
- Clunky for long-lived programs that maintain large complex object graphs
- Really impressive ecosystem
- Toxic community

Considering David Tolnay's indefensible treatment of JeanHeyd Meneide, I'm inclined to agree with Kling on the toxicity of the Rust community. Evangelical fervor does not excuse douchebaggery.
Mayhaps he had a Damascene conversion? Not that I ever understood the need to change from C++ in the first place though.
