I am not mad, it was nothing more than an attempt to urge a more civil tone from boats. If you both think that such tone is warranted, then so be it. But it does affect my (really high) opinion about you.
I do understand the pain of your dear work to be harshly criticized. I have experienced it many times in my career. But my critique intended as a tough love for the language in which I am heavily invested in. If you see my comments as only "extremely inflammatory"... Well, it's a shame I guess, since it's not the first case of the Rust team unnecessarily rushing something (see the 2018 edition debacle), so I guess such attitude only increases rate of mistake accumulation by Rust.
I do not doubt that you care about Rust. Civility, though, is a two-way street. Just because you phrase something in a way that has a more neutral tone does not mean that the underlying meaning cannot be inflammatory.
"Instead of carefully weighing advantages and disadvantages of both models," may be written in a way that more people would call "civil," but is in practice a direct attack on both the work, and the people doing the work. It is extremely difficult to not take this as a slightly more politely worded "fuck you," if I'm being honest. In some sense, that it is phrased as being neutral and "civil" makes it more inflammatory.
You can have whatever opinion that you want, of course. But you should understand that the stuff you've said here is exactly that. It may be politely worded, but is ultimately an extremely public direct attack.
