Confession: I wholeheartedly hate Rust. It just sucks. The build system is ok (not great, not terrible) and the fact it can compile into WASM is nice. Everything else just plainly sucks.

Otherwise I'm not religious, I can handle and enjoy most languages.

When I hear a project is being rewritten in Rust, it's sad news. People waste time on the rewrite instead of the features and it stops being improvable for me.

I hope this Rust mania ends soon and we can all go back to nice programmer friendly languages.

Rust is computational Marxism.

When I read they want to rewrite some project to Rust I usually feel good because this means they will probably clean old code full of memory-unsafe code with potential security bugs.

But refactoring to memory-safe C++ methods would fix it also.

Or literally any language one layer up from C
