> Not enough libraries for what I had to do at the time. I looked at it.

have you ever considered the same is true for the hundreds of thousands of OSS projects out there that are writing their code in the language they know best and provides a wider range of opportunities?

If the advocacy for safe languages revolves only around _one_ language, it's spam.

It's the same thing of "excuse me sir do you have time to talk about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?"

There are so many imaginary godlike beings, why stop at the one?

> Also you claiming something has "become" cultism does not make it a fact.

spamming without being paid it's cultism.

It's the definition and it's not up for dispute.

> I'd equate you to the people who resisted the use of iron and concrete and claimed you can make tall buildings only out of wood. Anti-progress folks.

False premise.

I've never resisted to Rust, in fact I write Rust code when I need it.

Your argument is deeply flawed.

Because it comes from cultism, not from reasoning.



...according to you.

Whether somebody is spamming you, on a discussion forum that nobody holds a gun at your head to read, is very much up there in the air.

Claiming subjective feelings are facts is kindergarten stuff, I'm really interested how that's not obvious to an adult.

I write in 3 languages lately, Rust included, so stop trying to discredit what you dislike. People will keep pointing out Rust is a better fit for a number of projects and happily there's nothing you can do to stop it. Because it comes from experience and analysis, not cultism.


> ...according to you.

and many other people who have replied to the original message saying "enough with this Rust thing, we know, now write the code or STFU"

> I write in 3 languages lately, Rust included, so stop trying to discredit what you dislike

I literally said I write Rust too... and other 20 some languages.

maybe you're just too focused on accusing other people, instead of actually reading and understanding what they are trying to say to you?

Just like a cultist would do?

> People will keep pointing out Rust is a better fit for a number of projects and happily there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Saying and doing are 2 different things.

I can do one thing though: keep pointing out that cults are bad.


I said what I wanted to say, you simply repeating what you said before doesn't give it extra credibility, let future readers decide for themselves.

<waves goodbye>


> you simply repeating what you said before doesn't give it extra credibility

it's not about credibility.

repetita iuvant.
