What is the worst case scenario that the author imagines happening to Rust due to Amazon’s influence (or anyone’s influence)?
This is unfamiliar to me - are there notable stories of what poor steering has done to a programming language? What were the consequences?
I can parse the basic grievances here on power dynamics, losing control of something you helped build…that’s familiar enough…but I’m having trouble understanding the gravity of what the author is passionate about preventing.
(In case it isn’t obvious I’ve never been a long term contributor to an open source project - genuinely curious about the context here)
