If only the Rust thing was entirely foreseeable, without hindsight, even.

"Google absolutely will abandon you, Microsoft will force you to upgrade, #C will never really improve, #Cpp isn’t going to get smaller or easier and #Rust is going to become one ugly custody battle as big-tech fights to control the only chance we’ve ever had to move on from C."

@Kroc I'd like to know where you get your info from. Rust is not owned by any large tech co, and never will be.
@llogiq If a company is sponsoring the Rust project, then I don’t think their employees should have commit access or be making decisions 🤷‍♂️
@Kroc Why should anyone be barred from contributing to the rust project? To be honest, that sounds like fascism to me
@FiolaKais @Kroc Maybe you should have your ears checked then. 🤡
@soc @FiolaKais @Kroc or you should have your ad hominems checked.
