An unsolicited tip: it's off-putting to start an article with a rant about your haters. I don't know you at all, but reading that intro makes me care less about what you have to say.
edit: Done removing some salt from the intro, DDoS still flaring up now and then, I'll be busy hardening some more.
I don't understand the drama over criticism concerning a tool.
If I had to guess, they don't care about Go, they just thought I'd be a fun target (with me generally being a tryhard and everything).
The article reads like:
1. "People hate me because I point out that Rust is better than your language,"
2. "Let's look at a problem I encountered in Rust,"
3. A review of how basic stuff works in Rust like enums, if/else, tangents about inlay hints & IDE support...
Somewhere, if I scroll long enough, I'll get to a section of the article that's not written by Snidely Whiplash, that's not remedial "Rust 101", and not some miscellaneous tangent about Rust or IDE support.
Probably. I'm just guessing, because people are talking about some substantive point that the article made and I just can't make it that far. You can't even scan the article for headings effectively, because they don't stand out.
Also, I feel like people who program in Rust are constantly telling everyone why you should switch to Rust. It's just weird to me. A programming language is a tool, and if you've found a great tool I get being excited about it and wanting people to share in that enjoyment. But it's also annoying when they're constantly trying to convince me that I have problems with my current language of choice, even if I'm perfectly content with my language of choice. Like, I don't see python users or C users going around proselytizing to the general public. Are there any other programming languages that carry this kind of preachy attitude with them? (I can't think of a better word to describe it).
I make exceptions for Peter Norvig or John Carmack.
