The problem is about the Rust bindings from C code to Rust. I don't understand what exactly went wrong there and why they are attacking each other. I think, it has something to do with C developer not caring about the Rust bindings and just breaking them as they wish. But I can be totally wrong here.

I think actually it might be a people problem. It shouldn't be surprising that the people today that are still writing C rather than pushing for safe languages like Rust are quite hardcore about C and don't give a damn about Rust. Any project still using C without any clear migration path will have such people I think.
