Even coming from a C background, I don't mind Rust or the move to this. However, the way they are announcing and pushing this is very un-Debian like. I can understand why some devs are upset. Especially the timing. Much better ways of handling a change. This is an example of how not to.
Like it or not, if you're developing for Debian, you're going to need to start using Rust.

Flatpak had been in a bit of a lull in development, but anyone who has worked in dev understands that can happen. While I still prefer native 1st, there is no doubt that systems like Flatpak are a big part of the Linux desktop now, like it or not. #Linux #FOSS
