It has always been like this.

Here’s the whole thread if you wanna read for yourself.

My take away is that rust people are generally fine and try to abide by the norms of the kernel development process but Martin acts like a jerk and it would be okay if he didn’t come back.

See the comment far, far down in the thread implying that he’s somehow a more serious commenter or developer because he’s funded by donations as opposed to a company.

I wish rust ppl would listen to the maintainers of the 30+ year old c project.

They have decades of experience maintaining and patching contributions made by people who are no longer active and the small request that those contributions be in the language of the project isn’t something to fight against.

It’s really a bummer when skilled developers fall back on stuff like “if shaming on social media doesn’t work, what am I supposed to do?”

Keeping sealed iodine patches and band aids inside my leather wristbands.

Staying on the edge of the pit to catch anyone who falls or takes a hit.
