On: I refuse to let Amazon define Rust

[cultofmetatron]

I don't really understand the issue with aws's involvement with rust? As far as I understand, they want a language that lets them.

1. write software thats high performance 2. minimize defects 3. can be used for a variety of sitauations

There are all things I want from rust as does the community as a whole. Seems like the incentives are lined up in a way thats beneficial for everyone.

maybe someone else can educate me on something I don't know here?

Are we reading the same thread? I don't think their involvement is at issue.

I've read the thread, and I'm unsure what the issue actually is. Can someone state what the actual problem is?

AFAICS Steve wants to ensure that none of the members of the Foundation have more influence than the others. He seems to suggest that Amazon has taken over a significant portion of control lately (IANAL but I think by deciding to not renew the contract of the Executive Director for the foreseeable future, control of the Foundation is vested in the Chair of the Board, aka for now Amazon, and maybe they are trying to do some shady stuff)

This is all speculation, I hope Steve can write a blogpost to detail clearly the situation. He already namedropped, and these tweets with scarce information only fuel confusion, which IMHO can do severe damage, as all miscommunication problems.
