It's not about “love” or “being sacred” or even about Rust or Zig, it is about behaving in society. Most successful communities at some point meet toxic people who want to start holly wars and insult people. Successful communities are the one who ban those people, or at least coerce them into behaving through social pressure.

When you don't do that, you end up with bullies like Loris occupying prominent positions, and that's very bad for the community because it attracts people like that.

It has nothing to do with programming languages at all.

And sorry to say that bluntly, your discourse about “supremacism” “love” or “sacred” sounds very immature: programming languages are tools and engineering projects, not icons that should be worshipped or hated, they all have their strong points and warts (and god knows Rust has its share of annoyances…). Don't get dragged in holy wars by cult leaders like Loris.
