@bugaevc I'm out of the loop. What happened?
@goku12 almost every time a news item about gccrs is posted, the comments on r/rust, HN, and even LWN and overwhelmingly negative.
"essentially apologize and explain themselves" refers to their recent guest blog post in the official Rust blog, where they rebuff common criticisms and try to convince you that they're not out to harm the Rust ecosystem https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/11/07/gccrs-an-alternative-compiler-for-rust.html
@goku12 here's a comment on r/rust by one of the gccrs devs about how un-welcome that makes them feel https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/12y85ww/comment/jhrqz72
@bugaevc I have been a Rust programmer since 2013 - since 2 years before 1.0 was released. Rust people were pleasant back then - tolerating even stupid questions from me. But now that it has succeeded, I'm sorry to say that there is a bit of elitism and gatekeeping in there. It's as if they're on a mission to repel people away. Why does a language need anti-features when it has a fanbase like this? GCCrs is a project that I'm eagerly awaiting. It's sad to see the community itself sabotage it.
