Yes, absolutely. Constantly, in fact.

Rust the language is great.

Rust the community makes me hate rust, never want anything to do with it, and actively advise people not to use Rust. Your community is so, so important to a programming language, because that's who makes your documentation, your libraries, fills out the discords, IRC, and mailing lists. As a developer, any time you're doing anything but rote boilerplate zombie work, you're interacting with the community. And Rust has a small, but extremely vocal, section of their community that are just absolute shitheads.

Maybe in 5-10 years when the techbros stop riding its' dick and go do something else will Rust recover its reputation, but for now? Absolutely no.

So you're saying Rust is the TOOL of programming languages.
