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.)
