I've invested in a fair bit of time in learning Rust fairly recently -- asking naively, but is this sort of thing something which could realistically compromise the future of the language?
- cookieperson 3y agoNo. It's just people doing what they want with OSS. The majority of the mindshare is still in one place. It looks more like a protest and or a hobby project then anything else.
- akkad33 3y agoWasn't Rust also started as a hobby project?
- cookieperson 3y agoYep! And that's why I say go for it. Worst comes to worst some smart kids get great experience writing cool software.
- WuxiFingerHold 3y agoThis fork is just a symbolic act. However, the ongoing drama around Rust creates real damage. Why should someone invest in a language where there're constantly drama about social or political issues? The focus should be on improving the language?
- usgroup 3y agoI suppose that is my feeling too -- is there historical precedence for something like this in other languages anyone can reference?
