PS: TVL is international, but a lot of the development will take place in our office in Moscow. Say hi if you're around and interested! That's going to be a no

That's going to be a no from me.
- ingenieroariel 3y agoImagine if we had said the same about Nginx. Let's evaluate things on technical merits, specially if they are using open source licenses we understand. In this case GPL v3.
- 1attice 3y agoYes, imagine if we had said the same about Nginx. Now let's imagine now that we're saying those things in 2024, during the first major land war in Europe since WWII, in a context where state actors, if they are not already Jianing Tan, have enormous motivation to do so. Now, let's put the risk at the root of the build system, and leave the lead devs in a country known to coerce, threaten, torture, poison and kill its dissidents. That's a no from me, dawg. Look outside, it's not 2015 anymore.
- Filligree 3y agoI’m afraid these wars are going to kill open source. Unfortunately… if that’s going to happen, I’d rather have it happen without first having huge security breaches.
- NewJazz 3y agoI'm responding to their suggestion to travel to Moscow. FWIW I am very excited to see a rust impl of Nix focused on performance, and I am completely understanding that a person cannot pick their nationality (to some degree).
- Gerlo 3y agoWhy?
- NewJazz 3y agoI'm a US citizen and there is a significant risk that I will be detained and held hostage if I travel to Moscow.
- zare_st 3y agoI don't think is wise even if you had written guarantees from their state via the business, because how your state might look at it. It's a war, things have changed.
- rekoros 3y agoThat post is from 2021, pre-big war (but post-2014 one, which nobody noticed). In 2021, stopping by and saying hi wouldn've have been all that preposterous.
