    Over the last one or two years I feel like Rust haters have gotten even louder than the Rust evangelists. For every person who declares “Rewrite it in Rust!” I see two or three people saying how they hate Rust or how pointless it is and so on.

      I am convinced Rust haters are simply refusing to learn something new, consciously or not.

      Yeah, this whole meme just looks like ‘I hate Rust and don’t want it anywhere’

      Of course, there is importance in trying it everywhere, because it shows where the language and ecosystem lacks and can evolve; but beside that, I think adoption by big companies wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t any good as some want to believe
