Seems like you need to first understand a situation before you have a knee-jerk reaction to something and start calling people assholes.
From one of the OBS contributors:
> Firstly, I love the idea of having specific features / plugins available to be written in Rust, your point about it being able to encapsulate the heavy dependency without cluttering up the overall project is absolutely true.
Seems you (an anonymous HN user), are the only one being against having Rust parts in OBS, and none of the contributors have (so far) spoke against having some parts in Rust. Maybe let them run the project as they see fit.
Read the PR description. The Rust-based library builds a lot faster than the C++ alternative by Google. The difference is on the order of less than a minute vs. half an hour.
DDRBoxMan wrote the original PR, a member of the OBS community. The choice of Rust wasn't taken lightly and I think it was the right decision.
A few people outside the OBS community (me being one of them) wanted to help finish the PR. It will let me build some things that aren't possible today.
If anything I am heavily biased AGAINST Rust. I work primarily on the Go implementation of WebRTC (Pion). I feel great about the decision to use webrtc-rs for OBS.
