With that said, where can one read about who is in Mozilla's Rust team? Is that information even public?
- steveklabnik 6y agoSure. As I said, I did not flag it. > Is that information even public? It is in a really weird space. However, a lot of the folks involved have chosen to talk about where they're at publicly, and Niko said he was not laid off. Also, for what it's worth: there's a charitable and uncharitable reading of the comment. Charitable reading: everyone who was at Mozilla who was paid to work on Rust was laid off. Non-charitable reading: everyone who was paid to work on Rust was at Mozilla, and was laid off. HN readers are supposed to follow the principle of charity, but it's quite possible that people either ignored that, or mis-understood the parent as saying the latter, in which case, it feels quite egregiously incorrect, rather than maybe slightly wrong.
