"faster than C" almost always boils down to different designs, implementations, algorithms, etc.
Perhaps it is faster than already-existing implementations, sure, but not "faster than C", and it is odd to make such claims.

Which is: people complaining about Rust zealots are much more than actual Rust zealots. Thinking of it, I haven't seen a proper Rust zealot on HN for at least a year at this point.
So I don't know, maybe do less cheap digs. Tearing down straw men is pretty boring to watch.
Every interaction I've had with a rust programmer has led me to believe they are a toxic community of cultists. It's unlike any programming community I've seen.
Toxic people are everywhere on the net. That's not an interesting insight. If you point us at some lunatic on Twitter who loses their marbles over everything, that's not interesting either.
Do you get trolled on actual technical forums though?
It is interesting how you can't see that you are inflating one nut case and extrapolating to an entire community.
