I've spent quite a bit of time amongst the Rust community, and I have never actually seen any of these RiiR evangelists that are complained about so much on HN.

I'm not saying they don't exist, but they are a much smaller portion of the community than HN would have you believe.

You're telling me you don't see "why not rewrite it in Rust" posts in a forum dominated by people who are enthusiastically working on Rust codebases?

In the meantime, you did noticed that RiiR is already a meme, didn't you?

They are like the Bernie Bros of programming languages.
