I take it as tribalism.

Rust culture is a lot like socialism, libertarians, fundamentalist religions, vegans, etc. They see themselves apart from the "mainstream", as rebels, revolutionaries, etc.

In their beginning, Java and Python were like that, too. Lua, Haskell and Kotlin also do the same. Golang is more discrete.




I feel like "written in Go" is the at least the second most likely language to be pimped in an hn title.
