I also write Rust professionally, and I agree with another commenter that this is likely trolling.
However, there is definitely a subset of the community that is so bought into the idea that memory safety is an Absolute Good that any new developments, projects, or languages that don’t make it a priority are a priori bad.
I am a huge fan of rust, but we should let the language stand on its own merits and not assume that it is the only valid choice. Just because I and/or my company prioritize the features rust gives us doesn’t mean it’s the perfect solution for every problem.
That said, I do feel like this view that rust is the only valid language is a minority one in the community. It just is a bit loud at times.
