You can still enjoy the language without engaging in this drama. I only know about this because it's on the front page of HN (maybe I'm living under a rock) and yet the language still works nicely and I enjoy writing it immensely.

The problem is, this isn't "drama in the Rust community", this is repeated gross incompetence and malevolence spanning years from the very top of Rust leadership. It's completely warranted to let that affect your decision about whether to rely on that language (and hence its leadership) or not.

Drama like this has influence on language evolution, on this specific context, reflection work from ThePHD was stopped and his employer withdrawn from all ongoing Rust efforts.

Dramas in Python and C++ communities also had similar side effects on the people that were involved, and withdraw their contributions.

Just imagine how hard would it be to write in e.g. Python 3 otherwise, sheesh.
