		tyleo 7 hours ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Several core problems with Rust I'm annoyed that this submission's title was changed. This was first submitted with the original title, "Rust is a disappointment," and got flagged. It looks like it's been unflagged and the title has been changed. A quick search of HN shows a bunch of articles, "X is a disappointment," which aren't flagged. Do folks have such thin skin about this topic that expressing disappointment deserves flags?

Language wars are an endemic pathogen on HN and any steps we take to suppress are probably for the good.

As long as the steps are symetric among languages, I'm fine.

But that's rarely the case with flagging. I'd say impossible to enforce even.
