    It's a hard call for me, they both seem so evenly matched.

      I have no idea about Rust. You can't kiss all the girls. C++ seems to be more of a love-hate relationship for those who don't hate it outright. I don't think it has many fanboys, but it certainly has its share of pedants.

        Should I introduce you to the Ruby fans? :doh: Neither of the above come close.

            I didn't realize C++ had those; I thought they were only for unpopular and niche new languages (Rust, Go, Python, etc.).

              C++ has pro level practitioners for sure.

                I just made this post on the Rust section of Reddit and it got removed as offensive or abusive: "The whole variable shadowing thing is just a ridiculously bad idea. I cannot believe that a language so anal retentive about safety would allow such a thing. If there's not an option to have the compiler warning about it, there should be." I mean that's just Rust fan boys suppressing anything that questions the sanctity of Rust.

                  Probably offensive because of "anal retentive". We're getting inundated with people who grew up in very sheltered environments. I'd never heard of variable shadowing and had to look it up. :wtf:

                        As far as I'm concerned...the C++ fanbois at least have decades worth of real-world projects they can use to support whatever claims they want to make. Rust right now is being described by Wikipedia as having appeared less than a decade ago. Remove from that whatever amount of time it takes for any language to see some real-world use. Is it fair to draw any conclusion from that? Whether that's even a valid metric to use, that's not for me to decide, but it *is* what first came to mind...

                          I dunno, a new language may engender even more ardent support, because they have an 'us against the world' thing going on or something.

                            That's pretty much my point - the question was, who has the most ridiculous fan boys. They're being ridiculous if a language is brand new and still unproven. If a language's been around for 50 years...its defenders at least have a leg to stand on.
