    I really don’t see why they should feel obliged to include another language, just because they included Rust. There is no fairness guarantee or whatever. If anything, Rust now fills the memory safety and modern language gap, so there is much less of a need to include another language.

      This is cult-like shut-out tactics plain and simple. Get your foot in the door, keep everyone else out. Rust is superior! All code must be Rust! All other languages get the Axe!

      This behavior is heavily agenda-driven and needs to stop.

        You might want to ease up on the conspiracy theories. I’m not part of some irustinati that wants to force everyone to use Rust and nothing else. I was merely describing what I believe to be reality. In fact, I expect the strongest opposition to a third language will come again from those who’ve been coding nothing but C for the past decades.

        Feeding the troll 🤷‍♂️ “agenda driven” what does that even mean 😆

        No one said other languages aren’t allowed. Submit a patch and prepare yourself for years of painstaking effort.
