I'm curious, what drama in the Rust community are you referring to?
I see some drama associated with Rust, but it's usually around people resisting its usage or adoption (the recent kerfuffle about Rust for Linux, for example), and not really that common within the community. But I could be missing something?
Zig is great, but it just isn't production ready.
- chrisco255 2y agoOn drama: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/why-is-there-so-much-mismanagement-in-the-rust-foundation-and-core-team/94822 https://users.rust-lang.org/t/why-is-there-so-much-mismanage... Also, Zig is set to release 1.0 beta in November.
- simonask 2y agoI think the replies in that thread actually do a good job of describing how it is a bit overblown. As for Zig, I hope they make it. I think I kind of see why people are excited about it, but fundamentally the reason I'm not super hyped is that it doesn't seem to really enable anything new. It's far more expressive than C, but it doesn't make it easier to manage inherent complexity (to my understanding - haven't played with it a lot).
- eknkc 2y agoAny source on the zig 1.0 thing? As far as I can tell it is not even on thr horizon.
- TwentyPosts 2y agoZig is not even close to a 1.0 beta this year. Or even next year. For example, the async problem still exists and still has absolutely no viable path forward, or even MVP approach.

She had a relationship with a core Rust board member at the time so they added her on just because. Any discussion about her addition to the board was censored immediately, reddit mods removed and banned any topics and users mentioning her, etc.
- hitekker 2y agoYes, she was dating him at the time. It did not go well for Rust, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28633113 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28633113 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28513656 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28513656 Ashley is just one out of many, unfortunately. Other former and current top contributors share similar qualities. Those qualities tend to trigger unnecessary explosions like last year's https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/13vbd9v/on_the_rustconf_keynote_rust_blog https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/13vbd9v/on_the_rustco....

- hitekker 2y agoI have a few pieces of info, but they're not linkable. Not yet. IMHO, I don't think she was trash. I think she was the face of Rust's lack of integrity, in many respects.

- anonfordays 2y agoReposting for posterity: Yup, glad she's gone, working on a project no one uses and no one cares about. Basically a containment project. The trash really does take itself out sometimes. I can't think of any other core Rust contributors that were pushed out though, any links? AND flagged below: She was trash, and cancer. Glad to see the cancer excised itself. Remember what she did to Node/npm? Pepperidge Farms remembers: https://archive.is/XcxSf https://archive.is/XcxSf
