I'm impressed with how many great tools have been created in a short period of time. The Rust community really pulled together and made sure that there are Rust alternatives to as many tools out there as possible.

Thank you so much, and keep up with great work!

@BB_C @frog_meister ""mentally challenged"" is... interesting... not sure how to feel about that or whoever it's mentioning.

In any case, society is not simply a bag of individuals. There's a reason surrounding documents, sources of information, tooling, well-known figures, etc. are considered an "ecosystem" - none of that lives in a vacuum.

In this sensw the danger only lies in *how* the generalization is being applied. In this example I see no issues. There seems to be a latent cultural trait of this and overlapping spaces that lends itself to "rewriting it in rust". And is ofteb from people who could be aptly described as being part of the "rust community", if at least in the trivial sense that they are active contributors to multiple projects.

And, to be frank, the framing of it being a "unified, central community" is entirely yours - they didnt neccesarily imply anything as such

The explicitness in that part of my comment was deliberate to fully dispel the "really pulled together and made sure" part from the well-meaning OP.

@BB_C And I think I clearly established that people can and may refer to even disparate sources of community as a community and make statements of this generalized nature.

To be frank "really pulled together and made sure" is more of a rhetorical device than it is any kind of stricter descriptor of what they think the community functionally looks like.
