The fact people still add "written in Rust" to HN submissions is almost as funny as how effective it is, which itself is almost as funny as the fact that people like me can't stop commenting on it.

I first posted without mentioning "marmite" neither "Rust", then a friend reminded me that both things would engage. People are very triggered by those words.

And it worked. Congrats for reaching Front Page, Bruno!

Context: > Marmite is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, salty, powerful flavour and heady aroma. This distinctive taste is represented in the marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." Such is its prominence in British popular culture that Marmite is often used as a metaphor for something that is an acquired taste or polarises opinion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite

If you hate Marmite, try putting it on cheddar

People hates it because everyone tries to use as ot was Nutella. Used in the right way, butter + marmite on a toast is awesome.

As someone who both loves marmite and is currently learning Rust I was unable to resist clicking.

Nice tool. But marmite is a trademark, you may need to change it if Marmite claims infringement.

Unless OP branches out into developing tasty spreads I don’t think there can be a trademark dispute

I have to google the definition of the marmite word in English because in my first language it means something like cauldron or pot.

Definitely a faux-ami.

I also use it in cooking, add a spoonful to a soup or a stew and it really adds some great umami flavor. Marmite roasted potatoes are delicious, too.

Aren't trademarks attached to specific goods and services? In other words the trademark protecting the yeasty food spread based does not prevent someone from using the word for something like a record label: https://www.marmiterec.com or a static site generator.

Tasty marmite would be a distinct product space free of trademark.
