Rust Evangelism

The practice where Rust developers (aka evangelists) and cult followers harass other developers, code maintainers, and open source communities in order to get them to submit to the borrow checker and rewrite everything in Rust. They're known to cite Stackoverflow surveys that Rust is so loved, and that memory safety is free in Rust.
You know, Rust Evangelists proposed that Linux be rewritten in Rust.
Man, the amount of Rust Evangelism on Hacker News is just insane.

r/programmingcirclejerk

A Reddit subreddit where the developers annoyed by and tired of the grandiose and circlejerk that programmers showcase online gather and take the circlejerk to another level, in a meta fashion. The ritual usually involves "jerking" to selected material, and taking pleasure in it; it's exactly what it sounds like. The most commonly mocked subjects include Rust Evangalists, Gophers, webshits, functional purists, vim/emacs fans, C purists, and people who think they are "10x programmers" or that there is even such a thing. Their favorite jerking material is usually sourced from Hacker News, r/programming, and lobste.rs.

They don't tag the people being mocked, they "point and laugh from behind a soundproof one-way mirror" making it one the few circlejerk subs where harassing other communities and vote brigading doesn't occur. In fact, tagging the user whose content is being linked or mentioning the subreddit outside is a bannable offense.
Oh, fuck! A link to my content made it to the front page of r/programmingcirclejerk, I should reach for the garbage collector and clean up that shit.

Webshit

A derogatory term generally used for web developers; but mostly for a specific breed of web devs that never built non-trivial projects that are not web related, or used something other than web stack. They usually think that JS and Electron ( that whole stack) are the best thing since sliced bread, or more immorally, they think JS is a decent language. They jerk each other off whenever a new framework that does yet another anti-feature in a very convoluted way is introduced.
Oh, for fuck's sake, the webshits are losing their shit over a new JS framework that apparently helps you add left padding.
