What a surfeit of words to fail to justify your false reply about "important things Mozilla has created" after I left.

You were the one who insinuated something about motives, here:

I already said I was not going to speculate on your motives, after easily showing your false claim: that Mozilla created Rust after I left.

So the only "bullshit" about motives has come from you. And you are the only one who seemed emotional, if not angry, to the point you threw "attack" as a typical DARVO move. This is pure projection.

It matters who did what, when. Especially in view of Mitchell's power of the purse at Mozilla. Yes, she could have killed Rust, but it would have blown up in her face and she had no need to kill it. No, she does not get credit for creating Rust even after I left. The Rust team was working on spin-out well before they all left. As for Servo, it is better off out of Mozilla: https://news.itsfoss.com/servo-rust-web-engine/.
