Why the hell one has to use Rust to comment on library name? Is there some license requirement for comments on Rust stuff? It's not like that people go on GitHub and tell authors that their project names are silly and need to be changed.

This is exactly cultish thing about Rust, that unless someone is praising Rust, they are free to keep their mouth shut.

I'm not an outsider, I have used rust before, though not extensively, not that this matters at all. An active rust developer has no more permission to criticise something about the rust ecosystem than someone new to rust

But it does matter. If the people actively using the packages aren't complaining, then there isn't really a problem.

You've hyperfocused so much on my "criticism of your criticism" and the permissibility behind it that you chose to ignore the actual criticism I laid down.

I'm not continuing this either way since I've said my piece. Maybe step back and actually read my comments rather than focusing on me criticizing your critique.

Also, pot calling the kettle black. You spent an entire comment being offended over my critique.

You probably shouldn't make such inflammatory comments on an account that is directly linked to your professional and personal profiles, it really doesn't look great

Also it isn't a criticism of my criticism, it is an assertion that I should not be allowed to criticise at all, which is a totally different thing. Of course I am going to call that out

EDIT: I can't reply because rate limited

Please calm down. I'm not threatening you. I'm simply surprised that you make such inflammatory and aggressive comments on an account that is so closely tied to your professional life, that is all. I think you should reconsider doing so

Oh so you jump to implicitly threatening those you disagree with? Wow. At least you made it clear how open you are to discussion and debate.

I never said you can't criticize. As the other commenter already said, you're allowed to critique but don't be surprised when your criticism is then critiqued itself. That's the epitome of modern discussions and debate.

I gave you examples of what you can do right now, aka making your own alternative packages, but you chose to ignore that all and double down on "don't you dare critique my criticism".

And then (I'm going to point this out again because it's so absurd) vaguely implied my comments would face professional retribution. Because I chose to disagree with you and make that public.

In any case, I said I'm stopping and I am. You should too, as you're already crossing several lines with this comment.
