Rust/js/python are the mill for programmers. They make the programmers work output increase but are being used by capital along with a bunch of other technologies to change the structure of technology and society in a way that’s good for capital and “good” for the people who don’t write software but harms those who do.
Divorced from the marketplace, rust people are generally just annoying and unwilling to accept being beholden to any larger project they want to “contribute” to. Theres a bunch of reasons for this, it’s not like people with the wrong skull shape choose rust or js at some pivotal point in their brains development and go on to behave in the wrong way because they’re incapable of anything else.
On the one hand they’re taught both that these languages are acceptable and valid to work in (which is true) and that a phenomenal way to pad one’s resume is to have worked on a bunch of open source stuff (which was once true) so now when they show up with a bunch of commits that the rest of the project doesn’t understand or have time to learn a whole new language in order to understand and get told to fuck off until someone has the time to deal with them it’s both an attack on their skills and abilities and on their future prospects.
Anyway the structure of how big maintainers of open source projects are expected to be compensated is changing and the old maintainers material interests are aligned against the new contributors material interests and they don’t have a shared labor to bind them let alone some trade organization and the new programmers are literally under socialized and have spent sixteen years without any arts or literature or history education but I’m tired of typing you read capital volume 3 I’m sure it’s clear.

This applies to nearly every software project under capitalism.
Massive institutional presence in education, mit/bsd license culture, unexamined reliance on package/library manager.
I’m not mounting a criticism of the languages themselves, their usefulness or goodness (whatever that means), just using them to triangulate on the cohort of developers who are in a particular situation.

You are correct however I think there are unique conditions that rust/js/python devs are living under that makes it more prevalent.
Why is Python being lumped into this? It’s used in almost every project for managing builds and environments. Also really good for CLI/API stuff

I can see it, there’s definitely a type of Python dev that just uses jupyter and numpy/Pandas only.
