This article has nothing to do with Rust. Bringing Rust up like this is inappropriate, and looks bad on the Rust community. It fuels an "us vs them" mentality, and doesn't win over any hearts nor minds. It often hardens them, instead.

This phenomenon is the Rust Evangelism Strike Force (same as/similar to rust jerk?).

I like rust. I think it may be able to obsolete many/most uses of C some day. But I will concede that folks go overboard w this sometimes.
