Where were these things promised to you? I was there then too, and maybe one or two of these things were relevant if you squint, but also many of them were actively not promised.

Amazon fired every Rust project team member except Niko and weihanglo over the last year. Which is a major contributor to why the foundation started looking into funding maintainers

> non-political community

"Non-political community" is an oxymoron, like "non-aquatic lake". Politics is the verb that communities do.

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...

> A programming language simpler than C++..

That made me chuckle because both are quite the behemoths, as I have previously said. If they promised this, it was a lie indeed.

Everything is political, people are picking sides, and I'm on the same side as Rust

The biggest annoyance for me is that if you somehow say you use Rust and you make money, the community will descend upon you like vultures saying you need to donate. Honestly, they should just amend their license to be like the Meta Llama License since the community clearly desires that kind of thing greatly.

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

I don't give a damn about politics so I don't care what politics the language I use likes or not. If someone believes people should not exists because of their political or religious stance, sexuality or origin. We don't have a political problem we have one of morality and I don't compromise in that regard.

Edit: come on don't downvote explain your reasoning.
