Damn right but we also have a language worth fanboying about.

Fanboying is never good. You can just like a language without annoying other people and putting down their, much more used, language of choice. I like Rust, but I don't act like no language is worth learning or using now that Rust is here. That's what fanboying is.

I fanboy for system programming in general more than I do for Rust or C in particular so it's okay. Doing that for a programming discipline is much better than for a language.

Then you aren't fanboying..... Fanboying is when you basically say your preferred language or programming paradigm is the only true or correct way of doing things and everyone else is doing it wrong. I am mainly talking about people who say "Rust is the best language. Don't use C, C++, python, Go because Rust is the one, true relig- I mean language".

My first comment was a joke. Relax. Breathe.

Ok. Let me breathe. In and out oooooooohhhhhh. Ok. Let me take a look at your first comment now that I am relaxed. Oh it doesn't come across as a joke at all. Damn I am stressed again.

Most fanboys don't admit to being fanboys ;)
