I think the joke is on everyone who expected a project started by Mozilla still with a lot of influence by ex-Mozilla people not to have a lot of drama involved

I think the joke is on everyone who expected a project started by Mozilla still with a lot of influence by ex-Mozilla people not to have a lot of drama involved.
Look at Firefox. Its ratio of usage to drama is pretty high. Same with Rust.
- chimpoftheages 3y agoI guess. TBH it seemed to me like rust success stories was more people like Bryan Cantrill who don't seem at all like the Mozilla people. Maybe this is a difference between practice and theorists. AFAICT the whole subject was actual dislike of a project mixed with its irrelevance given the timeline. I find it entirely fair to downgrade someone's talk based on community feedback that they don't like a technical direction/topic/etc. I suppose it should hurt more to get honest negative sentiment on the direction of your actual work than random prejudice or something, and yes the dominant sentiment could be wrong, but I don't see how that is relevant let alone a valid source of drama for others. Perhaps people who step down will be replaced by people who simply reject the criticism that they shouldn't make the best choice for what the community wants to hear about.
