alt Hacker NewsSeriously. Yesterday there was a thread about a use-after-free bug in OpenBSD and despite BSD predating Rust by decades there were still people chiding the project for not using Rust (as though Rust would even protect you from all memory errors in a kernel project where you'd inevitably need to write unsafe Rust anyways!). Rust might be a fine language but it has the most toxic evangelist culture, bar none.

Please provide a link to this comment.
Someone asked an honest question and got reasonable responses that were informative. At no point did anyone chide the project for not using Rust.

You have an awful low bar for what is considered chiding, damn
Then again, your very username implies an indulgence in viewing technology through the lens of fandoms which is... weird
