Today, I once again wake up worrying about #Rust 's future.

Why is a shitbag such as #dtolnay still allowed to single-handedly maintain fundamental libraries for the ecosystem? Why is he part of Library API team? How is he not permabanned for single-handedly permanently damaging Rust by killing off comptime reflection over his racism? How is he not permabanned for the power play he attempted to pull with his "RFC" after pushing pre-compiled binary to serde without notice? Why are MIC companies routinely tolerated at Rust conventions? Why does no one talk about it, despite the problems not being solved? Has #Ruby takeover taught people nothing? Will Rust survive another year without turning into #fashtech?

So many questions. I think about them every time I use Rust, which is often.

Apropos of nothing.

@KFears
Sorry, a dummy question "MIC companies"?
Military industrial complex?

@realn2s Yup. An acquaintance of mine has written a very extensive piece on this: https://cafkafk.dev/p/eurorust-2024-helsing/

Is Rust the next NixOS?
