Vague complaints about "Rust evangelism"

Just adding some clarity for anyone who comes by. Just like any other community, you have Rust, Rust devs, the Rust dev community, the Rust dev community social media pages, and then the public perception of those social media pages, typically driven by clickbait "articles" about errant Reddit posts. There was a fair bit of hype at one point for Rust, and given its similar applications as C++, hype around "converting" people. This became a meme a decade ago, which like all memes just became tired thought-terminating slop. Which is how it ended up with Phoronix, but still.
