> If you don't like Rust, don't use it. No one is forcing anyone. In particular, languages such as C are incredibly slow moving and well understood.
Rust's goal seems to be replacing C++, which kind of means people will have to deal with it. If it's going to be in all these domains, people have to be willing to take criticism constructively.
Saying "you don't have to use all these features" doesn't work either - just look at C++. It's the mess that it is precisely because the language designers never learned to say no to the next cool thing someone wanted to add in.
At the moment, Rust is opinionated and polarizing. Some people who really like it try to push it everywhere. If and as that happens, people who disagree with a lot of the design choices Rust is making are going to have to have a voice in the community.
