@FiolaKais @Kroc To be honest, I don't see any facism angle here. Rather a misunderstanding about employment and sponsorship.
So those who decry the current state of sponsoring open source development (which includes having some open source devs employed by companies) appear to think that an individual employed by a company is automatically owned by them, no longer capable of independent thought and will only carry out the will of that company. Please correct me if I'm presenting a strawman here.
With that said, I do see a risk that a company that manages to get hold of a certain chokepoint to try a takeover (as recently happened in the ruby community if I am informed correctly). However, the #RustLang community is pretty diverse, with many companies employing and/or sponsoring folks along with people from universities, or sponsored by independent funds, and as always diverse environments are inherently less risky than monocultures.

Post-Quantum key exchange in iroh? Thanks to the amazing #rustlang ecosystem and iroh depending on industry-stanard TLS used in a p2p-friendly way this is now possible: https://www.iroh.computer/blog/iroh-post-quantum-handshakes
Bun runtime is experimenting with a huge code change, moving from Zig to Rust using AI. This is a major shift from its previous focus on speed.
