Criticism

An important aspect of inclusivity is being able to accommodate a diversity of opinions. If we can only get along when everyone agrees, then we cannot be diverse or inclusive. While our preference for consensus has served us well in some areas, it has also caused problems. Our culture of avoiding conflict rather than resolving it is unhealthy and has led to dysfunctional governance. –17 September 2022: Ten challenges for Rust

Discussions

In 2020, the forum post titled Rust says tech will* always be political - discussed the Rust core team publicly promulgating their Luxury beliefs around American culture wars as if to speak on behalf of the members of the wider community.

A year later another, in August 2021, another post was made by another member which immediately got locked by a moderator.

  • Nix-ifying Rust projects

    While most would be satisfied with rustup, I wanted to use Nix for writing any new project in Rust - especially as I see the value of Nix, and I already use NixOS. It took a bit of digging to evaluate the existing options, and come up with a template Nix setup for new projects.
