What is your suggestion for this? I understand that you think this is an important cause for the dearth of contributors --- I've watched enough would-be contributors bounce off the code base (long before even considering the tooling) and give up to have major doubts, as underlined by Richard's recent message --- but throwing everything out and building a new infrastructure is not something that happens by itself. It needs *people* and it needs *time*. And it's harder (and needs more people and more time) when you have a couple decades' worth of history (which Rust did not). If you have a solution to this problem, I'm sure people would like to hear it. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
