I have mixed experiences.

The evangelism on HN and reddit can be stifling. Particularly the overemphasis on "safety".

The community on discord was very helpful though, when I was struggling.

I feel like the community is large enough that you can find a lot of more normal people using it, and just avoid the zealots.



Yeah, the way I sometimes describe this is that Rust social media can be pretty toxic, but the actual Rust community is generally very friendly and supportive. The problem is that a lot of people confuse the two.


I should definitely say, if I'm talking about the "community," I mean real people not anonymous Twitter accounts.


I don't think safety or correctness can be over-emphasized.


I'd say it definitely can, 99% of tasks in programming can be done with a garbage compiler after all.

Different conversation though.
