       re LB: like i said a few days ago, "i don't do cults" has become the single most apposite answer to anyone asking why you didn't wrote your project in Rustthe assumption embedded in this bit, in particular, annoys this piss out of me:it has gotten to a point where people have told me that i should… stop because “you are making the world worse by writing insecure code”C code is not automatically insecure! in fact, anyone assuming that Rust is automagically preventing them from writing insecure code should frankly step away from their keyboard, turn off their computer, and go and find a hobby they can cut themselves on. then they might learn a thing or two about the complex interrelationship between tools and personal responsibility.i can see why that accusation would wreck an autistic person. it's one of those "you aren't even making it to the level of being wrong" category errors. it's impossible to sensibly argue against, because it's nonsense! but how on earth does one effectively counter nonsense...?

       @millihertz as someone who loves both rust and c, it makes me sad to see people have this behavior. both languages have their own way of doing things and if you like one more, use that oneit's possible to write good code in both languages, and there exist tools for both to get more confidence in whether your code is goodarguing about taste is not productive, let people use whatever language they want
