   It's beyond ridiculous that instead of receiving gratitude, cheers, encouragement, and support (both moral and financial), #GCC #Rust developers have to essentially apologize and explain themselves in order not be judged by the Rust community.

     @goku12 here's a comment on r/rust by one of the gccrs devs about how un-welcome that makes them feel https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/12y85ww/comment/jhrqz72

     @goku12 almost every time a news item about gccrs is posted, the comments on r/rust, HN, and even LWN and overwhelmingly negative.

     "essentially apologize and explain themselves" refers to their recent guest blog post in the official Rust blog, where they rebuff common criticisms and try to convince you that they're not out to harm the Rust ecosystem https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/11/07/gccrs-an-alternative-compiler-for-rust.html
