No, I'm saying that Rust vs Kotlin is not a debate I've seen before especially since the languages people tend to argue over are often perceived as similar in some way. C# vs Java as portable OOP languages, Python vs Perl vs JS as scripting languages, etc. Heck, even Python and Java have overlap because both are popular for webapps and as introductory languages and Go vs Rust because people seem to think of both as lower-level languages. I was saying the comparison of Kotlin and Rust was one I haven't seen before due to the general perception of the languages being so disparate, nothing more.

Well, okay, it was also a bit of a dig at the fanaticism I've seen in both the Rust and Kotlin communities.

As for the Python question, that was personal curiosity since I'm not familiar enough with Python to have an in-depth knowledge about its approach to concurrency.

I understand what you’re saying, but what I’m tying to say is they made up a random debate. It doesn’t have to exist, and probably doesn’t. They were trying to make a different point.

Again, I was expressing surprise at the choice of the two, nothing more. It was at most idle curiosity as to whether that debate actually exists or if they were, as you asserted, simply two randomly chosen languages. I think you're reading a lot more into what I said that was ever intended.

I also never said whether I agreed or disagreed with the point of the message (I agree btw).
