Every community has these assholes. In my experience, the Rust user base is nothing but polite, understanding and pragmatic. There's no smugness, explicit or implied. The Rust lore is just a joke that's getting less funny every day someone takes it seriously.

I feel like it's far easier to find more zealously anti-Rust people than zealously pro-Rust people - hating Rust has almost turned into a meme.

Yet, almost every Rust thread here serves as a evidence that your experience doesn't reflect reality.

Frankly, I see _a lot_ more uninformed attacks on Rust than actual Rust evangelism / snobbery. And most of these anti-Rust comments reek of personal insecurities and low-effort trolling. Like saying that Java is slow. It's getting old real quick.
