Funny, because I could swear that for every comment that rises some criticism against Rust design/implementation/ergonomics/whatever, I find a dozen that "respectfully disagree", i.e. try very hard to deny validity of original claims.

It is somewhat similar, actually, when someone states a negative opinion on Rust community and marketing around it. It is usually followed by those that say "you met wrong people".

Of course, you won't find any examples in this thread xd.



Wait... zealotry is not "someone having a different opinion".

Literally that's what you're saying: they have a different opinion therefore they're zealots!

Unless people posting an opinion is itself zealotry... but in that case why are you complaining about the replies and not the comments they reply to?


It is hard to call it "literal" interpretation of my words when they do not contain any occurrence of the word "zealots".

I think exegesis is a skill you need to hone further.


You can swear on anything, does not make it any more true. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All you do is defend very anecdotal evidence. Surely you can see this is not logically compelling.


He is replying to YOUR anecdotal experience though.


Well, I don't generalize it and claim it as a truth. That's why I had a heated exchange here.

Appreciate the perspective however. It's helpful.


In case you're ESL, you're downvoted because in this context "I swear" means "here comes some anecdotal evidence" and not "I promise this is true."


English is not my mother tongue and while I speak and write it quite well, such nuances escape me.

Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate it. <3
