I just wanted to clarify that I point this out to say that there was a real opportunity in this thread to try to push back on the language wars perception. To me, good community management would be taking the opportunity to say:

  * Sorry you feel that way, we try not to foster an inclusive environment that avoids language flamewars and negativity towards other languages
  * Some specific examples of policies that are enacted in community spaces towards that end (e.g. some large programming language discord servers have specific rules against low effort language bashing content and memes)
  * Take the opportunity to link back to positive things that the Zig team has said about Rust and places where folks have recommended it.

Instead, we got a shallow dismissal and redirection, which unfortunately starts to look like a pattern, especially when coming from a person who's in a leadership position in the community being discussed.
