I think the stuff with the foundation is kinda overblown by the Internet drama machine. That's not to say they haven't made mistakes, but hopefully the leadership council will fix things up.

Plus, Rust has come into widespread use, so it'll be very hard to kill.

Ah, I do not think it's really overblown... It's really a mistake that needs to be fixed up and people screaming to let them know. That is what we should do and it is great!

Agree by the way, its really hard to kill but i think can be killed if same mistakes happens over and over. Rust is an awesome language, I do not want foundation to overrun it. We should be talking about awesome crates, not an idiot decision made by foundation...
