     @ekaitz_zarraga Invent some technology called X and a programming language called Y, so you can implement X in Y!

     @ekaitz_zarraga often when I read comments on regarding software that has some problems, you see people commenting how people should write a replacement in rust. As if the mere fact that the software is written in rust somehow makes it better.

     Turns out people don't actually care what software is written in as can be proven by the neverending stream of Python and JS applications.

     Ekaitz Zárraga 👹 repeated this.

     @loke @ekaitz_zarraga Have you encountered the game Veloren? Looks quite professional, but the first sentence on its website is "Veloren is a multiplayer voxel RPG written in Rust." It seems absurd to advertise a game like that, but rustaceans seem to think everyone cares about the language more than the actual features.

     @ekaitz_zarraga Why stop? Isn't sharing knowledge a good thing?

     @ekaitz_zarraga For me, "how to do X in Rust" is sharing knowledge. I imagine some kind of tutorial, where someone explains "how to do X in Rust". For someone that is familiar with "X" and is learning Rust, this is probably helpful to them.

     @ekaitz_zarraga Hm...sorry for misreading your message. So it is about the Rust "hype"? Well, maybe there is a reason, why people love this language and it's community so much.😉

     Have you already checked it out?
