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.

Life's for too short to force people to do this, and ideally we should make it as feasible as possible for as many people as possible to never have to do this.

I have to disagree. Rust is not even close to behemothness of C++.
It's interesting to note that this doesn't actually discuss any funding details. Who, how much, when, how? The devil is always in the details.

I like some people. Everybody else I work with if they're willing to work with me. Saying that we all have to agree with each other is basically giving up on the political project entirely, and going back to strongman rulers who organize by demanding conformity. Very relevant in these times.

No, we should make it impossible to avoid so people can't sneak into adulthood without being properly socialized.

I don't agree with some points, but I share the feeling in terms of "failed promises". The fact that most well-known Rust crates are becoming huge bloat are becoming a problem to me, which is something that has been critized years again by the community itself. As an example, I still do not understand why simple HTTP crates require more than 50 to 70 dependencies to execute a simple GET call...
I think it's clear to me that Rust needs to start admitting more into the STD to help with this and increase the consistency across the ecosystem.

Perhaps, but it is definitely not a C replacement, but a replacement of C++.
