You're trying to make the case that this is a fever dream hallucinated by me in isolation? Like I took a bunch of fucking mescaline and imagined a world where the Rust community is actively trying to get things rewritten in Rust, get the DoD to mandate Rust for whole classes of taxpayer funded software, the groups at the FAANGs doing strategic rewrites of like revision control systems that worked fine, the whole thing?
> it's fairly common knowledge that the Rust community leadership regards all other programming languages as existing in an adversarial, finite-sum outcome space with any remotely adjacent programming languages and regard it's elimination of other language use as a first-order good.
and now arrived at "there's a subreddit, a glossary entry for a meme and a blogpost complaining of the years defunct core team". Note that the complaints on that blogpost have nothing to do with what you're concerned about.

You seem to be conflating "projects using or recommending Rust" with "a grand conspiracy of a shadowy cabal of Rust people getting their way, all the way to the top of the US government".
I'll restart my claim: no one in leadership can be quoted saying that people should only use Rust everywhere. I'll go as far as saying that it's unlikely anyone that has a commit in rust-lang/rust (a much lower bar) can either.
Right, the super key people are very careful about what gets said on the record. Only people who were hanging around before the PR machine got it's act together have heard a super key person say that explicitly. The "be quoted" is the heavy lifting there, and I bet you're right about that over say the last three or four years.
But I didn't say that, I said you will get various degrees of transparency depending on where you're hanging out. Which is a related statement to your hedge.
But this kind of nitpicking is tiresome. I posted threads and links and stuff to a mountain of "everyone fucking knows this".
Everyone hates you guys, I'm just crazy enough to say it out loud even though a bunch of my recent posts are all going to get 4 downvotes in the first hour.
There's an "internal" community document entitled "The Core Team Is Toxic": https://hackmd.io/@XAMPPRocky/r1HT-Z6_t
There's an entry on the tropes page about it: https://enet4.github.io/rust-tropes/rewrite-in-rust/

I just, made it up?
