Rust has always been favored by developers and many technology companies for its ability to provide excellent memory safety protection, concurrency, and efficient programming experience . However, as a language that is very successful in terms of features and adoption rate, Rust’s project governance has many problems.
Rust一直因其能够提供优秀的内存安全保护、并发性以及高效的编程体验而受到开发者和众多科技公司的青睐。然而,作为一种在功能和采用率方面都非常成功的语言,Rust 的项目治理存在很多问题。
The bureaucratic behavior of the Rust Foundation for a long time has caused complaints from users in the Rust open source community, and the recent “trademark farce” has pushed the internal turmoil of Rust to a climax. In the end, some community members who could not tolerate the power of the Rust Foundation forked Rust and created the CrabLang community.
Rust基金会长期以来的官僚行为引起了Rust开源社区用户的抱怨,而最近的“商标闹剧”更是将Rust内部的风波推向了高潮。最终,一些无法容忍 Rust 基金会力量的社区成员分叉了 Rust,创建了 CrabLang 社区。
Fork triggered by outrageous draft
由令人震惊的草案引发的分叉
In fact, in terms of background, the relationship between the Rust Foundation and the open source community is already on thin ice. In April of this year, the Rust Foundation solicited feedback from the community on the updated trademark policy. In the new draft, the Rust Foundation hopes to prohibit the use of “Rust” in the names of Rust-related tools or software written in Rust , and even have targeted restrictions on domain names or subdomains.
事实上,从背景来看,Rust 基金会与开源社区的关系已经如履薄冰。今年 4 月,Rust 基金会就更新后的商标政策向社区征求反馈。在新草案中,Rust基金会希望禁止在Rust相关工具或用Rust编写的软件的名称中使用“Rust”,甚至对域名或子域名进行有针对性的限制。
This means that if the draft policy is established, it will force many Rust-based open source projects to change their names for compliance. Many dissatisfied Rust community members have protested to the foundation, and some even said, “I hope the foundation will abandon this policy as soon as possible, otherwise it will seriously affect the development of the Rust language.”
这意味着,如果该政策草案成立,将迫使许多基于Rust的开源项目更名以确保合规。许多不满的Rust社区成员向基金会提出抗议,甚至有人表示,“希望基金会尽快放弃这一政策,否则将严重影响Rust语言的发展。”<
