> I think you'll experience some pushback on the assertion that that particular quote has a lot of arrogance or disdain in it.

It's just a roundabout way of saying "anything that isn't running Rust isn't a REAL computer". Which is pretty clearly an arrogant statement, I don't see any other way of interpreting it.





Be real for a second. People are arguing against Rust because it supports fewer target architectures than GCC. Which of the target architectures do you believe if important enough that it should decide the future development of apt?

I won't be real for a second, because this isn't about that.

Arguing that support for certain architectures should be removed because they see very little real world use is totally valid. But it's possible to do so in a respectful way, without displaying such utter contept for anyone who might disagree.


I read it as a straightforward way of saying "support for a few mostly unused architectures is all that is holding us back from adopting rust, and adopting rust is viewed as a good thing"
