#rustlang is a programming language from the early 2010s that uses techniques from programming language theory that were discovered sometime after 1970
this upsets nerds who think the only way to write a performant operating system is to write it in C, a literally conservative language from 1970 with very little compiler-time protection against memory corruption or type-check mismatches, because it means that they have to learn about something new, that prevents them from doing stupid things, because they think they just want to be able to do whatever they want without any safeguards or even a warning
rust stops an entire massive class of memory-corruption bugs by design, so of course fragile cis men who think they need control over every single thing hate it
like, we have beef with the rust programming language community at large, but the language itself is an untrammeled good and the more it replaces C, the better.
