We are just now feeling this. Some original contributors left the field, and lately the language has went in directions I don't agree with.

But Google is not even the first. Amazon has had their eyes in Rust for quite some time already.

As an outsider, I'm curious what directions those are. Are you referring to effects or keyword generics or something else?

Endless bikeshedding about `Pin` would be one example. I'm also not sure keyword generics are the correct way.

The discussions around 'Pin' are the opposite of bikeshedding. It's not about what color to pick for the shed, it's about reworking the feature to make it hopefully easier to reason about and use.
