I would also onto your point and say that one reason why Rust is easy to get into is because of the convenience that these semi-proprietary platforms provide.

We here on HN have both the time and ability to set up things like CLI Git, and Matrix. But for a new language, forcing people onto esoteric (& superior) platforms makes them less likely to use them.

It would be nice if Matrix and self-hosted Git were the default, but when acquiring users/programmers is your goal, Rust doesn't have that luxury.

Agreed. Maybe they will tighten things up in the future but when you are after adoption and getting as much help as you can, it's indeed a luxury to be morally idealistic.
