@whitequark IMO we should be upset that he hasn't been torn apart by a fucking pipe bomb yet

@SludgePhD well one kind of implies the other, don't you think?

@whitequark yeah, you'd probably have to pry his power from his cold, dead hands

@SludgePhD to be frank, I'm not really concerned about dtolnay himself one way or another so much as about the culture that allows people like him to entrench and remain relevant. one guy's labor only goes so far, while the filter that his presence sets up lasts a lot longer

@whitequark Wait, why did dtolnay stop maintaining serde-yaml? Did they realize that TOML is a superior data format?

@notgull rust-yaml is unmaintained with no way to contact the author and it got added to the RUSTSEC database, causing everyone to run away from it like hamsters into a river
