The creator is a BDFL but they are against setting up a foundation because they <i>"lost faith in mankind"</i> and then ranted about "master vs main" on git, and used that to segue into a mini-rant on essentially "woke" ideology. In less than 500 characters.

I get the vibe they might be racist, sexist, and just a bit out-of-touch with reality. I wouldn't trust having corporate code, or any code, built on it. Dude is a bit unhinged in that regard.

Two times, more than 2 years ago is not "all across" and neither it's "regular". I am a regular user on the forum, and I haven't seen any rants apart from two you referenced here.

Rust is very nice for systems programming, but it's not as ergonomic as Zig at all. Of course, it's a much nicer and more comfortable general purpose language.
I think both languages are great and hope to see them used more and more in the future. It's much better to debate when to use Zig and when to use Rust then go back to the dark days of C and C++.
