Yes. Most communities around newer programming languages are shit. There's the obvious SJW infection but I see a few other problems on occasion.

For Rust in particular whenever a significant bug appears in some old C program/library there's always some Rust people saying "you should rewrite in Rust". Fucking annoying and do it yourself if it is such a simple task. Honestly these people drive me insane. I will even get myself banned for insulting them.

Then some of these languages want to use their own package manager and repositories rather than what I have on the system, namely pacman. Perl (not exactly new) has CPAN, Python (also not new) has pip, Ruby has "gems", and I am sure Rust will get its own segregated shithole. The ones used for "web apps" are the most annoying because those retard devs have no idea how to do anything other than hardcode a dependency with a specific version. Fuckers!

Problem is I'm like a fucking magpie, I like the new and shiny shit :P

Couldn't agree more, dunno what you'd call it? "technology preaching", maybe? And if it is such a big fucking issue why don't they code the same program or library in Rust themselves? Don't expect everyone else to change just to make you happy.

I do get your beef with the individual package managers, different commands and shit, Rust sort of has this for library dependencies but once the programs compiled it's done, it's not too bad, you can do it manually so it's not a huge deal. That's said I'm still just starting out in Rust so there may be surprises later :/
