Reply to comment by emma in im a tech bro and i hate diversity and inclusion! grrrr! haha hey rust looks pretty good. why am i hearing about it just now in 2022? wow i love how good the documentation is. wow EVERYONE who works on rust is trans? by twovests

why would somebody tell you this? don't they have something better to get upset about?

i've known this person for years, and it is my belief that they do not

i'm joking about not learning anything new, though. when i get sick of current projects, and i feel i can stomach learning new tooling, i will take the time to learn rust

oh i thought you were joking

i could not have imagined a real person actually calling that queer baiting

i am interpreting this person as generously as i can but i can not imagine any worldview where 'rust is queerbaiting' is both coherent and true

which event is this referring to? Rust Official has had a lot of Bad Events

i see jeanheyd in the thread! (context: https://thephd.dev/i-am-no-longer-speaking-at-rustconf-2023) (but i figure this is referring to something else)

i still dont feel queerbaited by rust because the community has pretty much delivered on the "programming language for transfems" meme. i haven't felt a need to learn haskell, for example

(EDIT: to be clear, im not disagreeing or defending rust, i just don't know what this is talking about)

I've been trying to piece together what this is about, and it seems to be in reference to this. Also seems like a larger situation that's been brewing for a while, judging by some comments?

Anyway i was just surprised to come across a second person talking about queer baiting in relation to rust, even if it is in reference to the foundation and not the language itself
