    I know the image post was hyperbole, but the way y’all are gushing over it is borderline religious, in an unsettling way.

    Immediately, you call boilerplate a Big Deal and identify yourself as a zealot. Even in Java, a notoriously verbose and boilerplate laden language, it’s a Small Deal unless you’re doing something insane. Let me guess, your coding in VI or something.

    Rust looks great. It’s a bunch of small improvements over most languages. But True Believers of any lang need to chill the fuck out.
