Virtually EVERYONE I know has a bullying story from FOSS. The fact that this is considered very normal and just part of the culture is a huge problem. The fact people have pushed back very hard against those who speak out against it are also part of the problem. Many of the bullies are prominent developers. Some eventually realise they’re burning bridges. Others I swear to God were born assholes and will die assholes. Many users and advocates have rancid behaviour too. Attempting to call it out usually leads to attacks on your beliefs, because that’s how the culture works. You know how an asshole protects themselves? They make themselves indispensable. Look at David Tolnay. It’s very hard to avoid his crates. Any attempt to get reflection into Rust has to go through a David Tolnay-shaped wall because it would make serde obsolete or at least trivial to rewrite.
