#2"Donates"? A code base is a maintenance burden.

#3I have only used mono a couple times, but I am a bit confused by the wording here and it is likely because I don't know the full story of Mono.
But:
> Microsoft maintains a modern fork of Mono runtime in the dotnet/runtime repo and has been progressively moving workloads to that fork.
Does that mean that this mono project and its associated repo and what is within the dotnet repo are not the same and could (if they have not already) diverge?

Yeah if this doesn't come with a substantial endowment it's not a donation.

That’s the old code base which has been in maintenance mode for 5 years and which Microsoft doesn’t want to maintain anymore. New development still happen in a fork which remains under the stewardship of Microsoft.
Second paragraph of the article by the way, just saying.

Perhaps us C programmers should be telling the Rust programmers to stop shitting up the industry for everyone else because "C" is too hard to get right?
Really, point aside, there is no place for zealots and many places for a rational decision analysis in what tools to use. Absolutes and extremism are all bad.

What's the language you're referring to here? C#?

If you really like Rust you should promote it by using it to write great tools that inspire others to use it, instead of shitting on people who use other tools to do actual work.
