      I do know that Linus is on record with low opinion of C++. I have heard of him compare the cult-like following Rust has with the whole Vim/Emacs tribalism thing.

        I didn’t understand this. He said the bickering between C and rust devs reminds him of the vim/emacs debate.

        Heh.

        I do think the worst thing going for Rust, right now, is the Rust community.

        It feels like few specific jackasses from the Java community made the jump to Rust, and no one had the sense to slap them with a newspaper.
