I'd just like to note, for the three or four people I know in the Scala community who aren't falling over themselves to side with the far right in their current drama episode, that over here in Rust land I can't even see the smoke from the trash fires, you should come hang out.

I've thought about Rust, but I have a really uneasy feeling about the community and just how nice everyone is, and is -supposed- to be. Maybe it's just prior trauma from experience with the Scala dumpster fire.

There's certainly been rough spots in the past, but the community leaders try to learn from it. That's been the rule from since I started using it, back in 0.4. We owe a great deal to Graydon's example in the early days.

But yeah, it's not perfect by any means, if that's what it seems like! From what I've seen, managing a complicated community never gets easier, the issues change as time goes on, but hopefully enough collective intelligence on this stuff accumulates that it remains manageable.
It seems alot like what I've been told Haskell used to be. As money moves into Haskell more and more, its demographics and needs will change and its communities will need to deal with that. I'm glad Rust has good leadership 👍
