Could someone fill me in on the Rust situation? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I heard a PeerTuber I follow talk about controversy around "Rust" as a dangerous cult or something, but that she thinks people should put aside their "petty grievances" and focus more on what good the project will do for Linux. I'm out of the loop, but I think Rust is a programming language, right? Anyone know what this whole thing about a cult is? I want to be filled in on it, because it seems important.

Like, Rust's style checker nonsense is "remind me later" culture. Trying to wear you down by making you say "no, stop trying to get me to use your style instead of mine" in every. single. project until you break down and stop caring.

That's why it's not okay.

(inb4 "but what about other warnings!": those are actual problems with the code, or stuff that might turn into problems. "Having a different coding style than the language authors' personal decree" just isn't.)
