> It's controversial because of how he makes fun about the people using and promoting other languages, like Rust. I thought it was hilarious.

But doesn't that completely ruin the point of the post? I agree with you that something feeling 'fun' is more personal, and that the criteria of what constitutes fun are up to the user. The author doesn't agree with that - you can either adopt the former point or promote the Right Way of having fun. Those snarky remarks made me put this blog into the second category. When you're so invested in your argument, even a fundamentally harmless post about having fun will get that language wars hit piece subtext.

If anything, they seem more like desperate cheap shots than arguments. Other people, the NSA etc dislike unsafe-by-default code? Well, they're just authoritarian anti-fun ideologues! Rust users bring up some of the same criticisms I recall in the last paragraph? Well.. uh... that borrow checker, am I right?
