Not exactly chrono crate (to quote "chrono or equivalent"). More like Java's version of chrono.
But what if we did that 5 years ago? Oops. And even Java's API has problems too. Why not let it be provide by the ecosystem where it can qctually evolve?
There is no need for a new fund, the existing funds should be directed towards development and there should be greater transparency about how funds are gathered and spent.
This post is devoid of details and action. It should read that the Rust Foundation is going to convert to a 501(c)(3) and ensure that current funds are spent on development. Otherwise, this is a shell game with the existing funds and how they are going to be spent. Understand that sleight of hand bodes poorly and suggest impropriety.
Why doesn't Zig attract the same sort of lukewarm response that Rust does from parts of communities?
Zig's appeal lies in its deliberate simplicity and explicitness, offering a different path to high-performance, low-level programming compared to Rust's safety-first, more complex approach. This divergence in philosophy and implementation leads to different reception within the programming community.

> "Non-political community" is an oxymoron No it's not. I'm an LGBT person with a trans partner and I find many codes of conduct to be chastising and purposefully finger pointing to conservative people. A lot of them are basically, "your religious teachings or cultural upbringing aren't welcome here" I don't agree with religious texts, but that's what you're wagging in their face with some of the CoCs. Leave it at "d…
Just want to say I appreciate you publicly taking this stance (on what appears to be a non-throwaway account, no less). As a fellow LGBT person I feel so alienated from other progressive-leaning people and communities because of my belief in how those who don't share my beliefs should be treated. When saying these things out loud can be social suicide, well, it means a lot to see someone else say it first. So thanks.…

This is all fun and games until a “politically neutral” decision is made by a programming language foundation to refer to all trans people using they/them. How would that make you feel?

It isn't all of the objection, but there is a non-neglible amount of anti-woke people who find some weak technical reason to hate rust. It's silly but you'll be amazed in how often you see it line up when checking a random sampling of people who show up in rust threads just to make off topic complaints about rust. EDIT: I hadn't fully gone through the comment section on this one yet and yikes it's worse about it than…
Non-negligible from what perspective? Is this group of people somehow holding back unbridled adoption and enthusiasm for Rust? Is it possible for tech people to drum up excitement for a newer language without it being political just because you insist that it is?
Non-negligible in that it happens in almost every thread about rust. As in it isn't a rare occurrence.

I do like Rust, but I steer clear of the community because of this tithe-seeking nonsense.

Nope. I won't work with people who think my friends shouldn't exist. And I won't work with people who think doing that is somehow childish.
> people who think my friends shouldn't exist What does this mean? Are you talking about people who openly support actual murder? Almost everyone is opposed to that, of course.

College athlete Lia Smith died by suicide last week after years of targeted harassment and attacks from the people we're talking about. At some point, when the institutions of power do everything they can to demonize your existence, strip you of your accomplishments, and vilify you publicly—across millions of people nationwide—it doesn't matter whether you call it murder or not. The deaths rack up all the same.
