I write Rust code. I don’t mind it. But the truth is, I use very little of the language.

I visit the Discord, and I see all the crazy overcomplicated shit these people are writing.

If I had to try and make heads or tails of some of that shit I’d go crazy.

I actually think some of it is actual trolling by Rust itself.

And yes, the people are toxic. It’s like they really believe C and C++ and everyone else did literally everything wrong. And some of their justifications are seriously weak sauce.

And remember, I like Rust. At least the parts I use. But it’s easily going to eclipse C++ in complexity if it continues the way it has been operating.
