alt Hacker NewsIt's the beauty of the OSS community. Someone will think Rust is fun, pick it up, and contribute. No one is _demanding_ it per se. If you don't like it, you just don't contribute anymore.
I'm brushing over it lightly, I do understand this will impact people who were passionate about the project and now feel like they can't contribute anymore. Definitely an impact on an individual level. But that is, for better or worse, part of open source.
Aren't some people paid to do contributions? As in, it is their livelihoods? Of Rust developers, like you, there are also some that get paid to contribute to Rust open source projects, for instance regarding the language itself.
