I heard a PeerTuber I follow talk about controversy around "Rust" as a dangerous cult or something, but that she thinks people should put aside their "petty grievances" and focus more on what good the project will do for Linux. I'm out of the loop, but I think Rust is a programming language, right? Anyone know what this whole thing about a cult is? I want to be filled in on it, because it seems important.

You can disable specific warnings as a project setting, not just with rustc/cargo but with every build toolchain I've used in the last ~10 years. It's very common for me to find a project with at least one specific warning disabled. That really isn't a "trust me bro" -- people can look at the project, see which warnings are disabled, and decide for themselves if that is reasonable.
