Isn't choosing an OS based on what language it is written in basically doing what 'rust evangelists' are accused of?

Programming languages are tools, why would you stop using something because of a change which does not make the product worse in any way?




My issue is people who will "trust" security only because of a language used, wich is a flawed and dangerous mindset

I don't want to depend on that kind of project


Build up that absurd strawman so you can be angry at Rust continuing to eat the software world, yeah! Rah!

You won't use Linux, because it might have a bit of Rust in it, because some microcosm of Linux users will like that it has Rust and trust it more? That about right? Okay, you have fun.


I am still free to do what i want? right?

I never said they shouldn't do it, or you shouldn't use it, they do what ever they want too, hence why i move away, to let them do what the f they want!


thank you fellow brogrammer, i would only trust Real Code™ written by Real Coders™ in a Real Programming Language™ such as c, as god intended
