With all due respect, they don't need this money. Rust is a great project, and deserving, but they already have plenty of sponsors.
I would have rather seen 150 x $100 go to smaller projects. So much great software is being written, by people who are barely scraping by, and even $100 could be the motivation for someone to finish something widely useful.

There's nothing wrong with a company prioritizing donations to the projects that impact their work the most. Programming languages have by far the biggest impact on their programmers' day-to-day work, so it makes sense that Sentry would target them for outsized donations.
