npm is mentioned 5x on this page.

Just wondering, whenever things go wrong with Rust - why do you all (Rust devs) point the finger at JavaScript?

It’s the weirdest form of projection. More than 1 person is doing it here. It’s like the second Rust hits a failure mode you immediately go “well JavaScript is worse!”

Like that has anything to do with your failure (even if it was true)

Edit: 7 times and counting

I know it is almost a sport to point fingers at the "evil rust evangelists" on HN at this point, but a quick look at the fnoef's comment history would show you that they are not a rust person.

Your account, on the other hand, is a sock puppet created specifically to bitch about rust. Pot, meet kettle?

You're literally replying to someone saying npm is unfairly called out.

Rust developers aren't the ones who have problems with it. Otherwise they likely wouldn't be using Rust in the first place. I don't see anyone saying JavaScript is worse about it either, more that they're the same.

Why are you getting so defensive about it?
