I agree.

The friction is not an issue of the language or of toxic communities but the culture of how software is crafted and passed on. I use rust for hobby projects and besides the savety and soundness decisions, i love the tooling. Having countless [0] very restrictive guard rails like deny(clippy::float_arithmetic) for your usecases codifies intent about project structure in a way i have seen nowhere else. Not engaging with the benefits of rust but instead blanket-dismiss projects based on unrelated issues is irrational and i suspect its a phenomenon of older generations that grew up with C and never inherited eg. cobol on mainframes.
