Sorry. Either you are ignoring facts or you have not noticed at all. The point is if an article is about Rust it is quite unlikely that Go will appear in discussion but if it is Go discussion Rust will appear with almost 100% certainty.
this. Every conversation about Go gets interrupted by a Rust fanboy saying "Rust does this better".
The HN comments on this article have been derailed from any interesting discussion about Generics in Go to an utterly pointless religious war about Rust and type systems.
In spirit I agree. But Rusk fans would claim 1) expression of opinion in non-abusive way. 2) Enlightening programers who are unaware of "better" way of doing things. And both activities are fine at least technically.
I totally agree with both those things. But the Rust fan should realise:
1. This opinion gets expressed on every single comment thread about Go, multiple times. Maybe have some respect for other people's right to have a discussion on a subject without derailing it with a tangential opinion about another language.
2. We all know that Rust is the one true programming language for every possible context. However, because we're clearly idiots, we're writing a program in Go. Pointing out how Rust would do it better isn't helping.
