Say what you want, Astral ships impressively fast and their stuff works well. Python has been looking for better tooling for a long time.

The timing of the recent batch of propaganda makes it hard to believe it's not coordinated. I wouldn't suggest paid actors but maybe just an attempt to counter some fairly visible and negative recent takes. The amount of "I love Rust but" comments make it hard to take the commentary seriously too.

Is it really that hard to believe that people like the language and the problems it solves for them?

I think what stands out (and becomes quite tedious) is that most posts on HN don’t tend to include the language choice in the headline.

So a typical HN post might be “A new widget that saves times rendering Python code”. Whereas we get this constant barrage of “A new widget that saves times rendering Python code in Rust” with Rust appended to it.

PS: just to explain, the original post title was like this but it has now been modified to remove Rust.
