Exactly :) That's what I mean as well, sure there are great things written in rust, but they are great because they are great, not because they are written in rust :)

I'm very much aware of that, I have programmed stuff in rust as well, but claiming that it's secure and "better" because it's rust is just pr, believe me, I can write some really sihtty rust code.

I'm no evangelist for PHP, but I say use the tool that you know, when I make a new program I'm going to do it in nim, because it's the langauge that I have the most fun working with. It has mostly the same pros as rust, just with a lot nicer syntax and it's generally more flexible.

No shade on people liking rust, but this constant parroting of the same point by people who probably never even used the langauge is getting kind of old.

I nuked all my posts and comments as well.

Well, that kind of sounds like the normal rust propaganda, don't get me wrong, I do think the language is decent, it's just tiring to see so many people just buying into and parroting some weird claims like "it's rust, so it's secure"
