I would think that income inequality in terms of real wealth (food, shelter, pocket-sized entertainment-rectangles) is not as bad as it seems in nominal terms, especially when you look outside the US. The ability for trades and unskilled la

You might note that Rust was conceived by Graydon Hoare and now "the community" owns the project, and the creator is no longer involved. Much like Nikolay Kim (who also was a developer of aiohttp for python, a very impressive FOSS
