>It is absolutely infuriating when an API is changed when the old API was working perfectly well.

Good thing Google is reading this.

This is virtually all of the important rust libraries that refuse to go out of v0 because of semver and their urgent need to break everything. Anyone who complains is not "apart of the team" either. It's astounding how much post-purchase rationalisation exists in the community, rust has plenty going for it, the people will destroy it before that though.

Sorry guys but if you can't manage the task of providing randomness as a stable basic lib then maybe all you have is an experimental language not fit for production? It's scary how the security and correctness of the lang doesn't match the namespace problem that exists currently.

The single owner of one of the most popular crypto libraries hasnt responded in years to anyone. Hundreds of downloads a day still. Evangelists please take a step back and think about that.

Do they care if the old API was working, if it didn't make them (enough) money?
This is why your software should avoid relying on cloud services that you have little or no control over.
