Hard agree!
Not recognizing how right TdR (and OBSD by extension) have been is a giant red flag to me. It would be a whole different deal if they didn't have years of track record showing their conservative approach was 100% justified.
- lifthrasiir 6y agoThat doesn't justify unrelated rants in the mailing list though.

- lifthrasiir 6y agoIf that "culture" means that someone (but not everyone) is allowed to say unrelated things in unrelated venues, sure, I agree that it would have a great impact, negatively. Seriously, you can instead say that the description for newer programming languages tends to be subjective (which is IMO true). Then the discussion about regulating descriptions can follow. Instead you have this useless rant. The original link is correctly flagged, not because it is anti-Rust, but because it has no substantial values to discuss at all.
