> For those who don’t know, there was a big debate whether the await operator in Rust should be a prefix operator (as it is in other languages) or a postfix operator (as it ultimately was). This attracted an inordinate amount of attention - over 1000 comments. The way it played out was that almost everyone on the language team had reached a consensus that the operator should be postfix, but I was the lone hold out. At this point, it was clear that no new argument was going to appear, and no one was going to change their mind. I allowed this state of affairs to linger for several months. I regret this decision of mine. It was clear that there was no way to ship except for me to yield to the majority, and yet I didn’t for some time. In doing so, I allowed the situation to spiral with more and more “community feedback” reiterating the same points that had already been made, burning everyone out but especially me.
