Those Rust fans exist on almost all Internet forums that I have seen, including on HN.

I do not care about what they say, so I have not made a list with links to what they have posted. But even only on HN, I certainly have seen much more than one hundred of such postings, more likely at least several hundreds, even on threads that did not have any close relationship with Rust, so there was no reason to discuss Rust.

Since the shameless promotion with false claims of Java by Sun, during the last years of the previous century, there has not been any other programming language affected by such a hype campaign.

I think that this is sad. Rust has introduced a few valid innovations and it is a decent programming language. Despite this, whenever someone starts mentioning Rust, my first reaction is to distrust whatever is said, until proven otherwise, because I have seen far too many ridiculous claims about Rust.
