Re: Git haas gone wild (Rust)

At least one of the individuals I saw on that Git dev email list being a
proponent for Rust is someone I worked personally with as a Perl
programmer, and he's one of the best Perl programmers I know. He's arguing
*in favor* of Rust being used with git. So the 2 are not mutually
exclusive. The Perl community is still extremely active and still very much
alive, but one thing that really gets my feathers ruffled is when Rust
people (in particular) throw shade in our direction. Please don't try to
draw others into this, no Perl programmer I know has even batted an eye
about this. How it pertains to FreeBSD is another issue entirely, so let's
stay on target.

Cheers,
Brett
