Many folks asked me about this, so I wrote a statement on why I resigned from working on Rust:

Why I left Rust

@jntrnr Glad you took a stand in this - and thanks for providing more context beyond their posts. The PoC context is very important and something I wasn't aware of.

The saddest thing about resignations as a solution or reaction (to be clear I fully support your decision, I just wish there was a better solution) is that they don't remove the people who caused the problematic acts to happen... They just concentrate the toxicity. I wish there was a better solution.
