This is soap opera level drama. "It was a toxic relationship and we're happy they are gone".

I get it, they made you look bad when they were using Zig and they made you look even worse when they switched. It's just sad that software projects have to deal with issues like that instead of just focusing on engineering.

    It's more that most people would only associate them with that one project. It's not as bad as it could be, but for instance in the Ruby world everyone just thinks of Rails and, if they're aware of it, the main guy behind it flirting with white supremacy

    I think Rust was lucky no to get assassinated with just one app. It was created around the same time as Zig and 15 years after Ruby but it feels like its development is more mature. A lot of haters but few dramas.
