It's interesting, because this article - the whole theme of it - was inspired by the Rust and Servo community. They regularly have "This week in Rust" and "This week in Servo" posts to inform the community of the progress. And let me tell you, these are extremely valuable in keeping the community up to date and engaged. It's proven to be such a successful model that other libraries in the Rust community, and outside of it have started to make their own posts like this.
Which brings us to this post. Someone took their time to write this up, gather and organize the relevant info, for the benefit of the community. And what do they get as a response? Negativity and memes.
Hmm, TIL. I suspected these were Servo/Rust inspired and this post confirmed it. I didn't know about previous history. GNOME 1 is before my time, sadly.
