I assume that Amazon getting too much control is a real problem. But also suspect that deep down the true concern Klabnik has is that Steve Klabnik thinks Rust is about him, or at least he is the one that is supposed to write articles about what Rust is about. Not someone from Amazon or anywhere else.

I do not think Rust is about me. Note that I specifically say that Rust should not be about any individual, let alone a company. I’ve made my case against BDFLs for years.

One of my favorite aspects of the way the Rust community has acted over the last decade is to recognize that there are many ways to contribute to open source. I know not everyone feels that way. Luckily, since I don't want Rust to be about me, we're in agreement that I should not be in charge of Rust.
That is a problem. Perl 6 and Python 3 did not go well.

Oh, don't post this kind of personal attacks.
It's not a personal attack. It's just a theory. There was nothing substantive in the article.
There was nothing substantive in the article because it got edited soon after his tweet. https://web.archive.org/web/20210913110658/https://www.infow...

He's pointing out big changes coming to control of the Rust foundation and positing that Rust foundation being controlled by one large single corporate entity probably is not a good thing. Nothing in there seemed to me like he wanted to be the one in control.
