That the rust foundation is scared of republicans.
Why can't a language just be a language these days? Wouldn't complying with local health regulations be a matter for the local authorities? Not saying they should be broken, I just don't see the point unless it's there to make a statement.
What's next, not allowing code that can be weaponized like drones? Or encryption?
You or anyone else may no longer "publicly" use Rust or any things which is publicly associated with the language/ecosystem without explicit approval or license from the Rust Foundation's.
Also: Getting the Rust Foundation's approval depends on you adhering to their political views, on all things from gun-control to gender-identity.
That's quite extreme for a programming language, and the community is in uproar about the foundation being this tone-deaf.

Take me off this ride I'm done.
