The Rust Foundation is a 501(c)(6) and not a 501(c)(3). The Rust Foundation would do better for the community if they were a 501(c)(3) and more transparent about finances. Follow this example for the greater good.

This was exactly my issue with the Rust Foundation back in 2021 when it was formed, 501(c)(6) are for trade organisations. To this day, individuals still CANNOT donate to the Rust Foundation which means it is not community led.

Note: At this time, the Rust Foundation [still] does not offer individual memberships.

The main issue of the Rust Foundation is that makes it easy for companies to buy influence in the project by buying a board seat as a benefit.

I agree that the Rust Foundation should change their governance structure to a 501(c)(3) instead of a 501(c)(6).

I think you should add flutter and dart to this list. I don't see anyone using it or any jobs in it at all, sooner or later it will die.

No one. No one at all.

Qt: "Let's place ADS in your car! fridge, washing machine! your dog's collar and anything that is using Qt!"

"Why glance for the time on your watch when you can get an Qt enabled AD instead?"

Nobody asked for this.

This reminds me of the 'stop the steal' campaign to overturn the US election and the UK's remain campaign to overturn the result of the Brexit referendum.

Why can't people accept the result and move on?

Contribute to open source projects like Linux where they can't do that.

The Linux Foundation 2021 annual report [0] forecasts revenues of over $177M and companies are still involved in the development of Linux and other open source projects under that umbrella.

Either way, Linux devs and other open source devs are being "supported" by these big corporations.

Groups never admit failure.

A group will never admit they were wrong.

ConstitutionDAO tried to buy the US Constitution. When the auction ended there was a large Twitter spaces group that mistakenly celebrated CDAO's 'win' in the auction.

However, when it was revealed that CDAO actually lost the bid, the Twitter spaces group admitted they were wrong and that CDAO failed and then announced it to everyone in the group. [0]

This group admitted failure.

Is there an alternative to Heroku these days?

Heroku has not innovated in anything after being acquired by Salesforce and it seems to be going down almost every week.
