Please, stop using "written in Rust" as some kind of advantage or killer feature.
I am indeed curious to see how an agent-coded project turns out in the long term.
Coherencey from LLMs decreases as the source increases in volume, waiting to see how this all turns out.

Would you pledge in a crowd-funding campaign to build something like this? You'd want something that doesn't allow training on private repos, so ideally not a private company that can change owners and managers and hence policies over time. It's an interesting business case - open source website, revenue generating with some type of "open" business structure. Its first repos could be of itself. I had this idea for en…
Or full blown encrypted repos where only you have the key. Or, if we go a step further you pay a licensing fee for Gitdot and self host it. The cookie jar of AI training data is very hard to resist even if it’s a non profit I think 50$ is the minimum you could charge and still have responsive customer support.
I could be wrong but I think besides being able to self host for free you can also pay for something where they help you set it up and stuff
Something nifty also that you can do is that instead of them training on your data they enable you to train your own models on it and download the weights.
Definitely agreed its hard to trust anything you cant audit 100%. I think a non profit structured the right way would probably be pretty trustworthy not to do anything egregious like training on your data though. Or some way maybe to make the thing transparent so you know what happens with the data and you can basically audit the company somehow. I dont know if you would need to go as far as encrypted repos, that seems a little too paranoid but that would be a really interesting idea for a company although the target audience is probably limited

Zig and probably Pascal have the same advantage, can't speak for Ada as I've never built it. C and C++? You've got to be joking. If the project provides static binaries, sure, but I don't want to have to worry about finding a necronomicon and summoning the correct kind of imp required to properly use whatever insane build system the project is using.
You are missing the point here. Single binary files are not what makes a programming language good or bad. Its like saying "I want a red car because it goes fast" when people are actually disucssing how the engine works or how easy/difficult is it to drive etc. You cannot base your like/dislike on that single criteria and expect that to actually make sense.
For some people, Linux package management is not solved. Static binaries at least work for deployment.
More useful for client software, but you can’t just dismiss someone for having this preference given the poor viability of running arbitrary binaries on Linux due to GNU’s userland style.

They claim it is better just because of the language, ignoring the features gap, the size of the team developing and supporting the software and not having solved any issue with the software they compete against.
And to be clear, this in not in favour of GH, it is against the mentality that the programming language makes better products and programmers.

How is statically linked binaries an unique advantage of rust or go? you can do the same with C, C++, pascal, ada, zig, and more. Rust even doesnt do the static binary file by default. You might have better devops experience as an end-user of the said software if its statically linked and its a good trend in software sure but it is not unique to go or rust. Admitting you don't know how to code and still trying to arg…

It’s one of the first questions people will ask so it’s probably worthwhile to mention it. I didn’t get the impression they did so just because they thought rust was some kind of flex.

It's pretty honest, some times you have to be.
There are many ways to be honest, and some of them are within the site guidelines. Commenters should be honest in those ways.
However there is justice for commenting poorly, there doesn't seem to be justice for posting lies and deceit, which is borderline a serial case here(?).
