Dunno if he still have his Mastodon account, but after seeing continuous posts calling GNOME devs "complete idiots" and constantly bashing Rust for their decisions, I stopped following him completely.

You're seeing the posts in his blogs. His timeline was full of bashing devs of other open source projects. Never a constructive criticism, just plain bashing (with occasional self-congratulatory comment for his own decision).

PS: I think part of his Rust criticism was towards the attempt to make Sway use wlroots-rs and it not fitting his idea. So, instead of saying "Sorry, it didn't work", he jumped into full bashing Rust for not doing what he was trying to do.

I don't think he is still on Mastodon, and while deleting his Mastodon could be interpreted as hiding the public record of him being a jerk, it could also be interpreted as him leaving an environment where he had a habit of toxicity, which seems like it could be a healthy choice.

That was never a goal, not for Sway and not for wlroots-rs.

I wrote that to port Way Cooler, it was no different from the other wrappers in other languages that exist.
