I wish OSS projects had way less drama.
Rust for Linux had great potential, and would have been a cool alternative to the existing C driven model.
At least eBPF has diverse corporate sponsorship, so drama is somewhat tempered.
Would be great if more companies pitched in to help the FOSS ecosystem, otherwise the only option is an Open Core model.
- SoftTalker 2y agoAll projects have drama. The bigger the project the more drama. Just how people are.
- MayeulC 2y agoIt's just the current lead retiring, Rust for Linux is far from dead.
- progmetaldev 2y agoI agree on the desire for less drama, but being as OSS has lots of support from people that have made it their passion, I'd expect less drama would mean less caring about the project. Having companies support OSS project more could help, but would also need to be balanced by what is "best" for the project, which could just push drama more towards being monetarily driven. I just hope that this doesn't become an issue that causes a fracture big enough to split the community.
