> a lot of very experienced engineers encountering Rust, going "holy shit", and trying to preach about it from the rooftops

Preaching is like a religious thing. Why are people getting religious over a programming language?

People are obviously just making a living off of writing Rust and that's fine. I just find it so hilarious, dumbfounding and sad that people would stoop to such levels of dick-suckery over a programming language. Like, you all know it's going to replaced by Malbolge in 15 years, right?
