Promoting Rust by attacking C or other legacy languages that do not have equivalent memory safety is simply not constructive dialogue. Whenever the subject comes up concerning C/C++, or vulnerabilities discovered in common software packages someone always shows up to gripe about lack of memory safety in other language and then regurgitate the same litany of Rust vs C/C++ talking points. It gets old and it's not helping win over the developers the Rust community needs if they actually want to re-write the millions of lines code from the many open source projects to fix these problems.
The handful of Rust bros who show up to condemn C/C++ at every opportunity just make the Rust proponents look like a bunch of elitists, which is not fair to Rust or the community.
Yes, Can we be honest about this.
