why do they feel threatened by a community 1/10000 its size and a 5 year old language still in development?
Why do c/c++ wage war on rust so much?

rust was made by a microsoft and you shouldn't use it simply out of principle
I use java btw

Projection much?
Why do Rust faggots attack C++ users and expect not to become a meme?

Mostly because c-niles feel the need to scream at everything new, especially if someone on the development team isn't straight, which clearly affects the programming language. It doesn't help that a small (yes, small but very vocal) part of the Rust advocates also feel the need to shill it as hard as they do but it's mostly out of passion for the project itself, not that they don't need to shut up equally as much. It's pointless debate and you really shouldn't waste your energy on it.

I don't have an opinion on rust, but niche languages can be harmful because they waste people's time, as people buy into the marketing of the language before realizing the language doesn't offer enough value to be worth the investment.
Languages that shouldn't exist include Julia, Go, Clojure, Kotlin, Swift and CoffeeScript.

I've started poking around in Kotlin yesterday and it seems like a very healthy alternative to writing android apps in Java. What's wrong with it? (or are you baiting)
Jonathan Parker
what does fpbp mean?
Levi Peterson
Not baiting, and also Kotlin was the language in the list I knew least about. But the pattern of all these languages is that they are cleaned up versions of existing languages, without fundamentally changing anything. Because they are just fixing some cosmetic issues, they don't provide enough value to create a whole new ecosystem (e.g. mass migration from Java to Kotlin). And so the new language will languish with substandard docs, tooling and libraries, providing more annoyance than value.
