Listen: I really like and respect most of the folks on this list. I get it, I do. And hey, maybe literally everything has changed in the past eight years. I doubt it though.
Just ask yourselves: if Rails really is truly independent, what was the last major feature that DHH didn’t like that made it in? Where’s the stuff Basecamp doesn’t use? Why does the community replace like half the stack?

No project is perfect at those things. I’m bringing this up because I do care about Rails and those folks. This is a *monumental* moment to bring transparency into a completely opaque process. Take it or leave it.

reading linus' replies is very interesting. glad his initial concerns can be addressed. namely, that rustc doesn't implicitly allocate, and doesn't require panic-ing for allocation failure
i can't wait to see this when it hits slashdot, lol
Here’s a big idea: don’t give executives huge raises while core metrics are going down year over year. Don’t fire tons of people and blame it on the pandemic. How about them big ideas
Nothing says “I love big new ideas” like shitcanning your entire research division
