    I’m not making fun of that person. More power to them. I’m making fun of the rust community’s desire to rewrite the fabric of the universe in Rust

      People rewriting common software in Rust is a good thing, regardless how good the original and its code was, it’s a fun exercise in coding if nothing else, and if it ends up worse than the original, that’s fine! That’s how you practice and learn, and it should be encouraged.

      Fuck corporations using Rust rewrites to replace GPL-licenced software with Expat-licenced ones.

      As a Rust dev, I approve of this.

      (Especially the rewriting. Spacetime has way too many quirks and should be deprecated.)

      Alright. It just seems to me that anti-intellectualism is everywhere and that is what I first jumped to. I apologize for the accusation. It was knee-jerk. Carry on with your light-hearted ribbing, then.
