The RESF is not a conspiracy theory, its a known thing. Especially on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14178950

It's real, and as someone who loves rust, it's embarrassing, and difficult to avoid. The OSS embedded rust users in particular are nuts.

Really appreciate a fairminded Rust person chiming in. It's a disservice to the language (which is cool!), and it makes the community look bad.

Rust might gain some adoption among people who are new to high performance software and see a narrative that its the only game in town, but it turns off a lot of older folks like myself who know it isn't and that community matters.

gl to you and people like you trying to get it back on track!

		Can we be clear here: You are accusing people in this thread of "inorganically" bringing up Rust. The implication being that there is some shadowy group or organization coordinating the bombing of random forum threads to talk about Rust, or what are we saying here? Rust is an exciting language. It comes up because many people like it.

What is that link? A thread from 2017? What am I supposed to get from it?
