Your arguments are fair. However, can you tell me more what you mean about rethinking my approach? I am not sure what approach you are referring to.

- kstenerud 6y agoI mean escalating a minor dust-up into a blog post about their wrongs, and then further pushing it in a worldwide forum (HN). I don't mean to be rude, but as a disinterested third party, the optics of all of this and your handling of a disagreement reflect badly upon you. At some point in the future after you've cooled off, you'll probably delete the post (but better sooner than later!)
- ghoward 6y agoI actually don't see what you said as being rude, just honest, and I appreciate that. I actually let myself cool down before I wrote the post. I was going to write the post right after I saw the GitHub issue, but I sat on it for awhile, thinking through my thoughts. It's unfortunate that such a dust-up (which wasn't minor, by the way; it got published in LWN, see https://lwn.net/Articles/845535/ https://lwn.net/Articles/845535/) was a perfect way to make arguments against Rust that I have wanted to make. And I wanted to make them because if Rust can be as portable as C, I would LOVE that!
