Once more, this is hardly on topic and the wrong forum to discuss these things.
Communist countries and in particular modern China have been very active in
intellectual property theft, industrial espionage, reaching to homeland
security issues. There are reasons behind decisions. There is also ample
evidence, you can ask me if you can't find it yourself - though they're

That, if true, is very interesting. I would've thought that Nim's closest
May I suggest that it's probably healthier to leave the politics out of this?

Can you point to some examples of this in the Rust community? As far as my
experience goes, the Rust community has been nothing but great so I'm curious
what you're referring to.

@libman that is a nice essay. Thank you for taking the time to write it up.
Sadly I cannot
Yeah, I can't seem to resist responding to a mention of Rust's "SJW cancer"
with a pent-up rant about politics in free software ecosystems... (The GitHub

The original post contains two interesting points that may or may not be
connected. The first point, emphasized by the title, is that it (Nim) "all

about Rust, which were of course pointing out the SJW cancer, then somehow got
onto Reddit about languages not so infested with CoC and someone mentioned nim.
Downloaded it, tried it, and I'm pretty much
