The word &amp;quot;oxidize&amp;quot; used like that is clearly a Rust community slang, so it signals that the author identifies with the (a?) Rust community, but it also has the effect of alienating those who are not members of the subculture.&lt;p&gt;Apart from that, I find it strange that people are so brazen with the whole &amp;quot;rewrite stuff in Rust&amp;quot; agenda.</text></comment>
