I do know that Linus is on record with low opinion of C++. I have heard of him compare the cult-like following Rust has with the whole Vim/Emacs tribalism thing.

Heh.

I do think the worst thing going for Rust, right now, is the Rust community.

It feels like few specific jackasses from the Java community made the jump to Rust, and no one had the sense to slap them with a newspaper.

I love programming in Java. It continues to be my language of choice.
