    can’t believe it got to this point. heads on rust foundation seem more self-interested than community-oriented.

      Eh, this fork was born out of an unwarranted shitstorm (disagreement over a trademark policy proposal which was literally made public to collect feedback). So, I don’t see this fork gaining popularity.

      It’s easy to declare a fork, but you need to build up infrastructure, an own ecosystem and ultimately actually be a better language.

        yah, even the fork admitsit’s a placeholder for any of the project devs to show their support.

        I’m not sure why there’s a pattern of proposed terms changes that are inevitably retracted.

        I’m thinking it’s to garner attention but what do I know.

    Would like to see this succeed but have zero insights. To you think there’s actual momentum behind the fork?

      Think of it as rembranding project (e.g. Firefox/IceCat or RedHat/Fedora) instead of a new implementation/replacement of the Rust Project.
