> There's already a congressman on the record complaining about a "native Nigerian" committing code to Rust.

Wow. It comes from the Libra hearing I guess? By any chance, do you have an link to the exact quote?

Edit: as hsod answered below (I don't really get why this answer was flagged) the congressman isn't really “complaining” and it's not about a Nigerian committing to Rust, but to Libra itself.

It’s around 30 seconds of this clip https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4808083/user-clip-rust-langua...

“I went ahead and did a GitHub search on who’s actually leading the development on the Libra core side and it looks like, I think it’s gonna be international because it looks like a native Nigerian that’s actually building the actual Libra core in front of the code development of Libra core” - congressman Denver Riggleman (R-VA)

He lost his seat in 2020

It's an unsettling combination of literacy and illiteracy there.
