seriously? i would be down to chat more about this. given my exp in both node and rust it sounds like we have very diff ideas re this for projects that both ended up really successful?

my patience for tweeting about CLAs rn is severely limited, but for the sake of the projects i work on, i’m interested in chatting about why you feel so strongly about this. probably something to learn on both ends
