Hm...I'm getting the impression that is increasingly met with a refusal by some people (it's an almost _hateful_ attitude sometimes).

I wonder why. Of course there are a lot of layers to it, but one is definitely that Rust has gotten a lot more exposure to people and so there are just a lot more potential `match`es that lead to Err(()) and that's Ok(()) (sorry, pun intended).

But I wonder, if there's more to it than what meets the eye (feeling excluded/alienated/left behind?).

@janriemer My guess is that part of this is because some people are forced to deal with #RustLang code without having a choice because it starts to be quite pervasive. A few years ago you could easily avoid that, but nowadays it's just a matter of time until a developer encounters some tool or library they'd like to use which is written in Rust.

Jan :rust: :ferris:

@silwol That's actually a very good point!

Thank you.
