    To be fair, the rust organization goes out of their way to take political stances. No other meaningful programming language is managed by an organization as politically active as rust’s. These fonts have absolutely 0 connection to politics though.

      That’s fair, I guess they do. They don’t do themselves a lot of favors in that regard.

      However, it seems a whole lot of people that rail against Rust seem to purposefully not tease apart the technical merits vs. the political aspects of Rust. Of course, Rust proponents seem to purposefully antagonize others with insisting on rewriting everything just because. The licensing concerns are real ones, of course.
