I continue to really like #rust as a programming language. Even though I'm writing more #raku these days, I still love Rust (and am writing something in it right now).
That said, it's increasingly clear to me that Rust is _primarily_ targeted at the Big Tech usecase (aka "at scale") and only secondarily interested in the Free Software usecase.
Today's news that the Rust Foundation is reserving *half* of its board seats for Big Tech provides additional confirmation.

@codesections this doesn’t really bother me in the least. Companies that aren’t going anywhere anytime soon being on the board of my favorite language is probably a good thing for its continued existence and rapid development.
