SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
The maintainer of the Actix web framework, written in Rust, has quit the project after complaining of a toxic web community - although over 100 Actix users have since signed a letter of support for him.
Actix Web was developed by Nikolay Kim, who is also a senior software engineer at Microsoft, though the Actix project is not an official Microsoft project. Actix Web is based on Actix, a framework for Rust based on the Actor model, also developed by Kim.
The project is open source and while it is popular, there has been some unhappiness among users about its use of "unsafe" code. In Rust, there is the concept of safe and unsafe. Safe code is protected from common bugs (and more importantly, security vulnerabilities) arising from issues like variables which point to uninitialized memory, or variables which are used after the memory allocated to them has been freed, or attempting to write data to a variable which exceeds the memory allocated. Code in Rust is safe by default, but the language also supports unsafe code, which can be useful for interoperability or to improve performance.
Actix is top of the Techempower benchmarks on some tests

If you believe your communications are anonymous you're naive.
It's an issue that only technology can resolve. So I guess it will be indefinite cant and mouse. Not really worth arguing, just gotta do our best to make it possible
As far as the software development goes, sometimes it's best if you don't know who you are working with to avoid letting emotional personal issues cloud your judgement and distract you from the job. You can work with people you hate and not know it and produce something absolutely fabulous.

All we have to do is to keep anybody from getting the advantage.

Yes, if you understand nature, that's the way it has always been. Like eating and breathing.
