You've never seen the Rust evangelists?

I am genuinely jealous.

Also, I know you made a typo, but it did make me laugh

Bogeymen is what you meant

Boogymen reminds me of the joke in Millenium Man (How do you make a handkerchief dance - put a little boogie in it)

I actually have not, for real. And I keep getting beaten up here on HN just for daring to say it.

Makes you think who is who in this situation. Bullies screaming they are the victims.

The only time I've ever seen anything that could be considered Rust evangelist is when someone with a chip on their shoulder shoves a github issue or random comment link in my face. I certainly don't encounter them in the wild.

You're right - Rust has never had tech evangelists, absolutely never

In fact it's the only technology known to humans to never have had any such thing.

Puhleease.

I'm not saying they don't exist. I'm saying that I don't encounter them in the wild. Certainly nowhere near as often as I encounter people who have a loud and obnoxious dislike of Rust.

What I'm trying to say is that if you see Rust evangelists everywhere, your label is either so wide-ranging as to be useless or you need to rm your rust_evangelist_evidence.txt because it's likely taking up a disproportionate amount of headspace.

		I'm confused. Where do you think I'm backtracking?

A quick scan of your comment history suggests that you see one every day ;)

And - the number of times I have been grossly downvoted for daring to utter a true word about Rust (or even Rust adjacent) will let you know your non-existent Rust evangelists are indeed the bullies - with one now screaming that he is a victim.

If you want definitive proof - look at this sub thread where you're so triggered that people talk about the mere existence of Rust evangelists (and evangelists exist for every tech - they always have and always will - which you would know given your [claimed] history in the field) that you want to argue they they aren't evangelists, they're just poor misunderstood victims.

Note: I say claimed not as a jab but because I don't know you and can only go on your claims in your profile.

My comment history? The very same one that keeps trying to extract out the location of those supposed Rust zealots and never even getting a single response except yesterday... and the linked comment was pretty mild? But I always get downvoted for having the gall to ask? That comment history?

Surely you mistyped that part of your comment with the one I wrote above, right? Understandable.

I guess we'll have to agree that we live in parallel realities though, reading your comment -- which I do find genuinely puzzling. Because I keep not seeing evangelists and the only one using troll-like language here is you, not me ("triggered", really?).

I am looking at the sub-thread. I guess I need new glasses. Still not seeing anyone fanatical / zealot or whatever. What I see are people who try to ground a discussion because a top comment happily tears down a straw man, and those comments are attempting to show that.

> Note: I say claimed not as a jab

Oh, I am sure. Your comment absolutely cannot be mistook for that.

Just a final post

"No true Scotsman" detected

and

>> Note: I say claimed not as a jab

> Oh, I am sure. Your comment absolutely cannot be mistook for that.

I made an explicit note because I suspected that you were going to take it as such (and, as demonstrated by the sarcasm in your response, you did)

Have a nice day bud - nobody has changed their mind - it's been real.

		You are reaching and trying too hard to find bogeymen where they don't exist, that's my conclusion. Be more awesome, dude. :)

Also yeah, serves me right for trusting my phone's keyboard. :(

Editing the comment out now, thanks for pointing out the typos!
