I can't say I really wanted to trigger people but some people tend to overreact. I don't read HN as much as I used to because when it comes computer related issues a lot of the discussions are simply not relevant to the subject of the post, and although I could downvote them I generally don't bother.
It is always possible to disagree without downvoting. I have to say Use Nim was rather terse, but it is hard to tell whether people were annoyed because it is offtopic, or they are genuinely afraid that Nim does or might do a better job in that use case. When you see the goal the OP was trying to accomplish it hardly looks like Rust was an appropriate tool for that kind of task, even if learning Rust was the reason. Anyway it is time for a Nim Evangelism Strikeforce I've got a few GIFs in the pipeline
