> IMO it could a meme "What would Rust people do?" when deciding what should not be done You betray your own ignorance here. Rust became massively successful despite having no corporate mandate or Big Tech progenitor, precisely because it listened to its users and empowered them to participate in the language design and development process. Trying to feebly gesture in the direction of Rust's async support doubly betrays your ignorance, both because Rust's async support is extremely good for its given design goals (not that it couldn't still be better), but also because you don't appear to realize that being developed in the open was what revealed the disastrous interactions between Rust's goals and the original pre-1.0 green thread runtime which characterized the language for a large proportion of its nascent development. Please don't bother speaking on Rust's history or development process again, to spare us your tiresome and consistent ignorance.

  "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" ~ Isaac Asimov, 1980

    True. On positive side sometimes cult members do see wrong in their ways and apologize[1] . Sadly it is not always they will do that. Mostly they will spend time on attacking non-members. 1. https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/05/29/RustConf/ https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/05/29/RustConf/
