The entire reputation of Rust is "that language made by insane leftists... with some memory safety or something". I've never seen any language community with a worse reputation, including JS.

"less censored circles" is a wonderful euphemism for, i assume, some cave full of idiots.

Meanwhile, above ground, JavaScript, Ruby, Haskell, and Scala all have worse reputations than Rust.
