I assume that Amazon getting too much control is a real problem. But also suspect that deep down the true concern Klabnik has is that Steve Klabnik thinks Rust is about him, or at least he is the one that is supposed to write articles about what Rust is about. Not someone from Amazon or anywhere else.
- steveklabnik 5y agoI do not think Rust is about me. Note that I specifically say that Rust should not be about any individual, let alone a company. I’ve made my case against BDFLs for years.
- senderista 5y agoRust certainly cannot be “about” one person who has made zero technical contributions to the language.
- steveklabnik 5y agoOne of my favorite aspects of the way the Rust community has acted over the last decade is to recognize that there are many ways to contribute to open source. I know not everyone feels that way. Luckily, since I don't want Rust to be about me, we're in agreement that I should not be in charge of Rust.

- type0 5y ago> But also suspect that deep down the true concern Klabnik has is that Steve Klabnik thinks Rust is about him, or... Oh, don't post this kind of personal attacks.
- ilaksh 5y agoIt's not a personal attack. It's just a theory. There was nothing substantive in the article.
- mnk47 5y agoThere was nothing substantive in the article because it got edited soon after his tweet. https://web.archive.org/web/20210913110658/https://www.infoworld.com/article/3633002/the-future-of-rust.html https://web.archive.org/web/20210913110658/https://www.infow...
- stjohnswarts 5y agoHe's pointing out big changes coming to control of the Rust foundation and positing that Rust foundation being controlled by one large single corporate entity probably is not a good thing. Nothing in there seemed to me like he wanted to be the one in control.
