Hm...I'm getting the impression that #Rust is increasingly met with a refusal by some people (it's an almost _hateful_ attitude sometimes).

I wonder why. Of course there are a lot of layers to it, but one is definitely that Rust has gotten a lot more exposure to people and so there are just a lot more potential `match`es that lead to Err(()) and that's Ok(()) (sorry, pun intended).

But I wonder, if there's more to it than what meets the eye (feeling excluded/alienated/left behind?).

My guess is that part of this is because some people are forced to deal with #RustLang code without having a choice because it starts to be quite pervasive. A few years ago you could easily avoid that, but nowadays it's just a matter of time until a developer encounters some tool or library they'd like to use which is written in Rust.

@silwol And any new technology people have to deal with will lead to some grumbling and criticism (legitimate and less so).

Plus some people who complain about the new thing being adopted by others, without having any meaningful experience with it themselves.

@silwol That's actually a very good point!

Thank you.
