Hacker News is not a place where any one group brigrades a thread. There are people who prefer C who don't want a GC, people who prefer Rust who don't want C, people who prefer Rust who agree with Fil-C for legacy C, people who don't prefer C or Rust and may use languages with GC.... We all have interests and face people who denigrate them in bad faith. If you have specific objections to inaccurate statements in this thread, then state them. I'll do the same for any technology if I'm qualified to make statements on it.

		I'm not saying that people don't comment in bad faith here. But if someone's first thought upon seeing significant negativity is that a coordinated, massive campaign is occurring, that someone is probably wrong. Commenting in that vein also harms discussion. If Hacker News is to foster good discussion, then simply not being a troll or ideologue is not sufficient. There really are many people here, with largely diverse opinions. Don't lump people together unless they lump themselves together.
