It’s evidence of division and strife. They have allowed the environment to get toxic. Groups that were planning on adopting Rust will now think twice, as it’s future now looks uncertain. All organizations that produce something valuable face this test, it’s the ones that don’t fracture that succeed.

This. When tech leaders look at Rust as a solution for legacy products and services - then see Crab grab - it makes them think the ecosystem isn't mature enough for their 25+yr old platform.

No. Linux adopted it. MS adopted it (but that can easily be meanningless). So it is quite mature.

And you are saying that multitude of C compilers make C less mature ?? You are literally saying "tech leaders" use some kind of reverse logic :) Maybe Mozilla isn't Oracle but "trademarking" lang name is just Java-like move.

Rust support was limited in scope and extremely experimental in Linux.

It's more likely to be removed if the effort failed (which it seems to be) than it was to be added in the first place.

They would be correct. It is not mature.

It was inevitable given the pushy nature of their evangelists. People who fall out of a cult are it's fiercest enemies.
