Not so sure about this. I see a good amount of acrimony toward C, C++, Go, Zig, etc. from the Rust side.

I think "acrimony" among languages (not language communities) is fine, like "you don't have an Option type?" or "you don't guarantee I won't have a use after free?". I think saying the "The Go/Rust/Zig community is uniquely toxic" crosses a line. And, to be very clear, if Rust people do it, I think it's awful as well.

It’s not unique to Rust’s community at all. I think they have relatively more visibility in places like HN, currently.

In this case it seems to be mutual. Even open hostility from some leading members of Zig community. Which is shame because these two languages could nicely coexist.
