When I started writing MartyPC over four years ago, writing an emulator in Rust was still somewhat novel. The development of the 'egui' immediate-mode graphics framework made it possible to make one with an advanced interactive debugger.

By mentioning Rust people have been able to more easily find MartyPC as an example of how (or how not to) write an emulator in Rust.

Perhaps the tag as outlived its usefulness, especially if people find it pompous or something. I'm not trying to be Rust cultist, I swear.

I suppose it makes a change from complaining that the post was written by an LLM.

But if it's written in rust and with llm then they both implode and we get really insightful comments

> non-human bots

I’m amused by the implication of human bots.

No, it's being downvoted because (a) who cares and (b) you wrote a wall of text that makes you look like you have schizophrenia.

Rust's user community is toxic and unbearable. That's enough to explain the widespread resentment against it. Their fanboys are annoying. CommonLisp used to have a similar community problem.

Yeah, I love Rust as a language but I engage with the community as little as possible. They are not pleasant to be around. Language is dope though, I really enjoy it.

I write Rust code. I don’t mind it. But the truth is, I use very little of the language.

I visit the Discord, and I see all the crazy overcomplicated shit these people are writing.

If I had to try and make heads or tails of some of that shit I’d go crazy.

I actually think some of it is actual trolling by Rust itself.

And yes, the people are toxic. It’s like they really believe C and C++ and everyone else did literally everything wrong. And some of their justifications are seriously weak sauce.

And remember, I like Rust. At least the parts I use. But it’s easily going to eclipse C++ in complexity if it continues the way it has been operating.

Yup, definitely the Rust users who are toxic. Totally not the people going into every thread about Rust to tell everyone about how toxic Rust users are. Nope.
