Life is too short to program on languages one doesn't love.

Those people, if they really exist, are right.

To be honest, I agree with you, and I think this is the right approach to life if you have a strong preference for languages. I think this only gets a bad name when people aren't upfront about their preferences and skills, with a lot of people having bad experiences with a go zealot at some point.

It seems the zealotry here is not coming from the Go and Rust people, though. From another message, your measure of presence of zealots is by the amount of "HN titles".

Rewriting something in Go or Rust and announcing it is not being a Zealot.

Being enthusiastic about something shouldn't be a cause for us to judge them like this. We should be happy about them.
