Yeah? Check out any very public discussion of Rust and to a first approxiation there's always gonna be someone talking about how we should all just be using C instead. It's also not hard to find instances in open source projects of people ascribing ulterior motives or brain damage or ineptitude or whatever to anyone using another programming language.

They don't call it C-lioning for nothing :^)

Can you give an example instead of just describing something rarely happened?

For rust this is certainly the case, demonstrated by this thread and almost any other thread about rust, it is . TBH it is a pattern to see title "fastest xxx written in rust".

C programmers do not have the tradition to ASK other people to write something in C, they WRITE something in C. That's the real difference here.
