> P.S. That's why I celebrate what Rust achieved there. 20 or maybe even 10 years ago it wouldn't have been an achievement. But today, when voices of everyone who may act as authority and stop language abuse easily are forcibly silenced… to do what Rust community managed to achieve is not easy.

So you're happy celebrating a witch hunt. The ONLY thing this guy did wrong was to publish his pet project in the hope that other people would find it useful. And he got loads of abuse from people who thought what he was trying to achieve was conpletely unacceptable. I sure as hell hope you enjoy being a witch-finder. Because hell is where witch-finders are likely to end up.

Unfortunately, this is just the "me me me" politically correct and toxic side of Free Software. I just wish we could kick that out ...
