Well, to be fair, the character who initiated the whole thread comes off as rather obnoxious, occasionally rude and offers clearly unreasonable suggestions such as "remove the templates". All in all, most of the replies I see in this thread from the Rust team show a remarkable patience and take time to justify their current choices.

Sure, I mostly agree with that. I mainly posted the thread to show the initial comment about syntax changes being off the table from now on. I do think allowing posters to violate the mailing list guidelines for civility just because they are defending the Mozilla position against somebody who is being stubborn creates a bad atmosphere. As does calling people 'cranks' because they don't come from the ML world (to me 'crank' implies nutty conspiracy theorist, perhaps it has different meanings elsewhere).
- AnimalMuppet 13y agoWell, "turn it into Lisp" may make one a crank on a Rust mailing list. It's not a conspiracy theory, but within the context, it is nutty... (And "use S-expressions" is pretty close to "turn it into Lisp", at least in terms of syntax.)
