Hey, I'm the author of the post. I did not post it to hacker news, but to the r/rust subreddit, where I think people had more context, and more reasons to be interested in it. Someone else posted the link to hacker news.
The title (which I indeed wanted to be a good catch phrase) was not meant to be an apology. English is not my mother tongue, so I may be misguided, but I meant "sorry" as "I am sorry about the state of affairs", not literally "I apologize to you, the sqlx library".
- aukaost 3y agoMaybe "I'm sorry I had to fork you" would've been more in line with what you meant to say?
- orbz 3y agoAdding a ‘but’ in there is often times used to negate everything before the but, like “I’m sorry but I had to fork you” would imply you’re not sorry, you had to do this.
- neilv 3y agoThank you, I understand.
- rowyourboat 3y agoI don't think the fact that it's sqlx or rust is really relevant. What you're describing is a problem and conflict of interest that's pervasive on open source, and that's what I thought worthy of discussing on hn. I'm sorry that people seem to focus on your use of the word sorry, I read it to mean in the sense of "it's a shame that the world is how it is".
- lovasoa 3y agoYes that's what I meant.
