You are expressing widely different things though. You said you would consider out right rejecting someone and question their mental health for having rust on their resume.

Having a tool on a resume, or listing experience with tools, should certainly not be interpreted as someone being a rust zealot, evangelist, "pratting on endlessly", and all the rest of the examples you gave. So, maybe you initially wrote something different to what you actually meant.

I'm not sure to what extend you are being facetious, so I'll take it at face value. Rust doesn't particularly attract "crazies", and nor are software developers mostly crazies. So, I believe your criteria is exceptionally bad at filtering those kinds of developers out. Hiring good people is challenging enough as it is without doing the job poorly. My advice, unwarranted as it is, is to revise your preconceptions.


Obviously the top comment is dumb, but please keep on doing this.

Nobody is going to be happy if you hire someone who knows rust.

At least your partially honest with how many divergent ideas someone working with you is allowed to have.


I think that says more about you than it does about the rusters.
