Implies that project names like rust-bitcoin are not allowed, unless they are developed by Rust foundation. This is a very bad decision for Rust adoption, completely out of touch. Did they just retain a corporate lawyer?
- moogly 4y agoI don't really see how it's bad. Just use bitcoin-rs. That's clear that it's Rust-based, but doesn't look like an official, sanctioned project.

- bruel 4y agoYeah, right up to the point where they trademark "rs" since it's also widely associated with rust.
- usrbinbash 3y agoThat's the thing, isn't it?. Even IF they don't go forward with this...who's going to guarantee to a developer/maintainer/company who want to build stuff in/with/for "The crab language" that this isn't going to happen again?
- mr_00ff00 4y agoSo why not choose a less common word like the prefix “official-“ Then only crates with that are sponsored, rather than taking the literal name of the language that people already use?
- moogly 4y agoOK, I didn't read the whole draft, just the example used in cft's post, which didn't seem like a big deal. But the other stuff is beyond stupid.
