"Rust's compiler prevents common bugs" So does skill. No offense to you, but, this trope is getting so tiresome. If you like the language then go ahead and use it. What is it with the rust crowd that they have to come acrosslike people trying to convert your religion at your front door?

I mean... they do kinda have a point on the last part. I'm no programmer or coder. I can't code for shit. I don't know a lot about development. And even I have the feeling that Rust people, they're kinda like NixOS people a while back, they never shut the fuck up about it. :3

They're definitely enthusiastic, I'll give them that. But so many projects are sold solely on the fact that they are made with Rust, even though it means absolutely nothing to most users.

I remember when System76 announced that they were making a new desktop environment and the only thing they basically said about it back then was that it was made with Rust and it felt like my corner of the internet lost their mind about it like they had announced the second coming of Christ or something.
