"Hey upstream maintainer, let me commit a bunch of code in a language you can't even read. You get to maintain it forever while I get to move on to bigger and better things. I am better that you after all: I know this cool new language and you don't."
"We wrote a single piece of Rust code that abstracts the C API for all Rust drivers, which we offer to maintain ourselves".
I wish that HN as a whole could maintain a respectful and curious tone of debate when these threads come up. Feel like both rust advocates and skeptics could do a lot better.
And this didn't go over well. Shocking.
