I also noticed this, along with the warnings that Dada doesn't really exist yet (which is fine, thanks for the heads up).

I predict this project will have its priorities backwards. There's a group of people who want to govern a programming language project, and inject their ideology into that structure, and maybe there's another group of avid language designers in there too. I think there are more of the first.

How do you “inject ideology” in a programming language?

Compiler error if the variable name is sexist?

I was just talking about the project community and governance. It would be hard to imagine injecting ideology into the language itself.

Oh wait, nevermind...

This is part of rustc’s test suite. It affects nobody but rustc.
