This feels like a slap in the face for some reason.
Aaron Turon is an extremely talented individual (their PhD thesis was a landmark contributionn). They are super kind and one of the nicest human beings I've ever met. They led the Rust Project until their involvement with Tokio caused them to drop off from Tech.
Alex Crichton is an extremely talented, kind, and hyperproductive individual, who after their involvement with Tokio dropped all async/await work and luckily "refocused" on WebAssembly.
If one is going to recap the road towards Tokio 1.0 and mention all the people that have left the Rust async ecosystem or Rust all together, you might as well spell things out.
- Ygg2 6y agoWhat? Why did they drop from tech? Are you sure this isn't something else instead?
- tobz 6y agoDoesn't seem very productive to speak on behalf of two folks who you clearly don't have the authority to speak on behalf of. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- volta87 6y agoI don't speak on behalf of them, I saw this on Twitter back when it happened, e.g., check Aaron Turon's twitter feed from back then.
