Thanks for writing this! Fwiw, the mod team can and does lock entire conversations, we've just been reluctant to use it in anything but egregious cases. (There are a lot of upcoming discussions about this space though)
It's quiet domestic wintertime so I thought I'd write a few outsider observations and suggestions about Rust. https://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/263429.html

The comments on language design are true but (perhaps from too much an insiders view) not entirely helpful; most languages don’t follow that curve because their authors knew where the limit was, but because they felt the language was finished

The hard part of open source language design is developing a shared design sensibility with the community around your language so that we can find what the finished language looks like
