Negative quote about Rust's liberal reputation.
"Socially, I live in a fairly conservative area (and, surprisingly, programmers are more conservative than the average person here), and the Rust community's reputation is a barrier to even talking about Rust at times. The actual state of the community is much better than it was three years ago, but the initial experiences a lot of people had have remained, particularly as a lot of enterprise bros simply do not participate in extracurricular activities like HN and reddit and only get hearsay exposure."

Andrei Alexandrescu's "leg day" quote.
"Reading any amount of Rust code evokes the joke "friends don't let friends skip leg day" and the comic imagery (https://www.google.com/search?q=...) of men with hulky torsos resting on skinny legs. Rust puts safe, precise memory management front and center of everything. Unfortunately, that's seldom the problem domain, which means a large fraction of the thinking and coding are dedicated to essentially a clerical job (which GC languages actually automate out of sight)."
