It's owned by Firefox and controlled by the Mozilla Foundation! That's why I use C#. It's open.

This is just plainly not true. Mozilla is one part of Rust's governance, but is nowhere near a controlling stake. We deliberately designed it so that control by a singular organization is impossible.

First you say that it's not "corporate control" then you say that well, ok it is a "part" of it's governance. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Participation is not control. Mozilla cannot make decisions about Rust’s future. They can participate in the open process to make those decisions, but we operate on consensus, and they’re a small minority of the stakeholders.

>Mozilla cannot make decisions about Rusts future.

Sure they can, just unofficially.

Rust is jesus and the holy spirit. A person who can't see this is an inferior programmer 100%.

I’d object to “shilling”, but I still advocate for Rust. Mozilla plays no part in my decision to do so, for better or for worse, for exactly that reason: they’re not in control of it, so I’m not sure why that’s relevant.
