I didn't know this about Switzerland, cool!
Many Europeans eat horses but I take it in the US that's equated to eating a pet too.

@skinnylatte This puts a whole new spin on Lohei during Singapore CNY.

While I am sure raw vegetables are healthy, we have been evolving as fire users for a long enough time to affect us a lot. I was going to go into how weaker jaw muscles allowed skull and thus brain size to grow but that hypothesis has apparently not held up:
The provocative idea that our genus arose with a deactivated muscle gene turned out to be wrong.

Nonetheless cooked food allows us to spend less time chewing.

Retro futurism is where it's at, and you taught me that. We learn from what worked in the past and its dreams, and our dreams and lessons and imagine a better future into being. It's already there growing in the cracks. And flowers growing in cracks are still flowers.

Yes, it makes sense that it does; I can see how easy it is to make that mistake. I wonder what ideas could be spread to build up immunity to it.
@drewdevault
So it shifts from "I think Rust's approach to memory safety in efficient code is a good idea" to "memory safety is a cause of problems in software and this tool can help" to "you are evil if you don't use this approach". Yeah, I can see that's a toxic pattern that is easy to slide into. I think other languages have less of that kind of pitfall; can't offhand think of anything.

I haven't followed any of this and don't know how much in the Rust "community" I am, and I only very recently found out about your criticisms of Rust (reading them with interest). I am sorry to hear about attacks.
I realize this is becoming a "not all ..." comment but I do wonder whether any large community with passionate members is immune from some people behaving this way? Defensiveness is normal human behavior.
But a real question: how can the Rust community do better?
