Cranston's Life - Rust and More Rust

So Much Rust Drama!

I don't know specifically what happened but there was some BIG DRAMA recently about some Actix project.

It is not software that I have used but to me it looks like some kind of web framework for Rust.

From what I have gleaned the lead programmer of the project suddenly decided to STOP working on it after a contentious bug report was filed, and posted a postmortem essay.

There is MUCH chatter at Reddit about this incident like Actix-net unsoundness patch "is boring" and actix_web repository cleared by author who says he’s done with open source, and some chatter at Hacker News, too.

Steve Klabnik wrote the A sad day for Rust article about this INCIDENT.

Steve's article resulted in some BIG DISCUSSION at Hacker News and Reddit.

I am SHOCKED by how much DRAMA was generated by this situation!

There has been so much COMMENTING about it, even including my very own commenting about it right here!

But this is a LESSON for me.

I must focus on the PROGRAMMING and not let myself be distracted by COMMUNITY DRAMA.

I must focus on the PROGRAMMING!
