No one is forcing you to learn anything even if Rust is successful in the future.
You see vocal 'fan-boys' OK. On the other hand it is really strange that under every 'Rust' post there are few very vocal comments hating on Rust. If you are not interested just ignore Rust posts. If you need to criticize, do it. But it would be more fruitful if it is something more than this vague formalism made by people bothered by title.

Agreed, which is why I explicitly stated that I don't feel like I'm being forced to learn it. You might be making the wrong assumption given the other person's blatantly deceitful replies.
Posts that are editorialized, shilling, ad/spam, or any of the other class of HN doesn't want you to do that type of posts, regardless of if it's about Rust should have the community call it out in comments.
To be clear, I don't hate the Rust language. It has a few features that I find appealing and there are posts about Rust that I feel worth worth the read. The cult like evangelizing and editorializing is what I dislike and makes some, including me, not want to engage with Rust's community.
