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

Why I left Rust

JT
@jntrnr I feel like a big missing piece here is to what blog post they are referring to. What has been written there? Why was it controversial?

@odddev @jntrnr I believe (based on https://thephd.dev/i-am-no-longer-speaking-at-rustconf-2023) that https://soasis.org/posts/a-mirror-for-rust-a-plan-for-generic-compile-time-introspection-in-rust/ is the controversial blog post in question and that the controversial bit is that this potential future for Rust is not endorsed by Rust’s leadership.

However, given how shady all of this is, it seems likely there is some personal grievances at play 🤷

I will no longer be speaking at RustConf 2023 about A (Possible) Future for Compile-Time Programming.
