On: Was Rust Worth It?

Why does something like that need to be secret...? Isn't it in the community's best interest?

Drama avoidance and avoiding bikeshedding seem obvious. Much easier to present a working system than a design that will get nitpicked into irrelevancy.

[solardev → TylerE]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[sapling-ginger → TylerE]

That quite funny. Just like when some people formed a violent militant group to take down a violent tyranical dictatorship. Of course they would promise that they would absolutely de-arm right after the dictatorship has been overthrown, and immediately establish a peaceful democratic government with fair election. They absolutely would, would they? They would never turn into what they were formed to replace, would they?

If one tyranny has namespaces and the other doesn't, I'll prefer the former.
