- MisterTea 4y ago> popular among coders != successful Not that these project become/are successful but the fact that LGBTQ people enjoy helping to make it successful. e.g. "Everyone thought this software was weird, scary and looked down upon it but we helped prove that it is a wonderful thing once you get to know it"

I've worked with LGBTQ people in software engineering before the LGBTQ acronym was even invented and they were 10 to 20 years older than me already in the 90s... Why there are people pretending that the World did not exist and had different rules before Rust? Is Rust a new kind of religion? It looks like it is for some people.
