It's annoying how many comment sections online are now just Rust vs Fil-C / Zig flamewars, and the creators of those languages are deliberately fanning the flames.

I also feel there's a second dimension to the politics, where Rust is the "woke" language and C / Zig / Odin are now the "anti-woke" languages. At least, going by their most vocal online communities.

I'm sure offline there's still engineering decisions being made (I hope).

Could you point me at the members of the Rust project doing so? I'd want to have a word with them (I'm a member of t-compiler).
