Rust's community is huge and I'm a fairly late adopter. I haven't seen any shilling or fanboying.

Let's not judge a whole tech stack by a few loud evangelists?

That tech stack has undeniable advantages. I'm focusing on that and don't pay attention to the emotional types.

And it's IMO a flawed judgement technique to distance oneself from technology because some randos struck you as fanatics.

Go and judge for yourself on the ground, experimenting. It's the only way to be sure.

Glad you're coming around btw.
