It’s a pretty good language and ecosystem. Downside was always the community which every ten seconds someone will start asking to tax everyone to fund Rust Software Foundation or constantly argue that you have to donate a percentage of income to it. Now with LLM I don’t have to talk to community. Huge improvement.
Problem with community is it has experts and groupies mixed in. Ideally experts can talk somewhere and groupies can go somewhere else and talk about funding RSF etc. but now is unnecessary. Expert is available on demand via chatbot.

I have literally never heard this, in ~decade of working with Rust. I think you may be taking some random mailing list discussions a little too seriously
I've been writing rust for over a decade and I've been quite active in the community at times. I've barely even heard of the rust foundation, let alone seen suggestions to donate.
