@whitequark ❓ What did happen with Rust?
@Genstar @whitequark Rust is popular with certain government contractors like companies which manufacture weapons and others which make surveillance systems. People from these companies have significant influence on where the language goes, and there’s concern they will pollute (or are already polluting) the developer culture around the language.
