At the risk of rehashing something that has already been discussed to death, did you stop working on Rust because of the difficulty of launching that MVP? I imagine that all of the arguments involved, particularly about things that are prone to bike-shedding like the await syntax, could be exhausting.

Any idea where we should send money to get things moving again? Lack of money is always the biggest problem in open source, right?

FWIW, I only started seriously using Rust in the past year. I quietly watched and waited while the async/await MVP was being developed. I didn't participate in any discussions. On the one hand, that means I didn't exacerbate any exhausting arguments. On the other hand, I wasn't actively supportive either.

That's not why I stopped working on Rust. Given that Amazon, Google, Microsoft and others all employ people to work on Rust, lack of money is certainly not the problem. There has never been more money in Rust development.
