Why is this a poor look? I was not aware of Brendan's involvement with Rust, nor the effect of the firings on the Rust team.

I think it comes off as petty to punch down, and wanted to let Mr. Eich know (out of respect) in case he didn't realize it. But if he realizes it and doesn't care, or just disagrees, that's his decision.

Punching down implies I’m up. How do you figure that? I’m not at Mozilla, not paying myself a seven figure salary, not ever engaging with the Davos set.

In any event, my comment laid out salient bits Rust history, which however much you might not like them, do not “punch” anyone.

You are only getting Brendan's story, and why is Brendan going out of his way to attack Mitchell Baker? It strongly implies some powerful drive besides sharing information.

Why are you fighting against facts from people that were there and why are you white knighting the person who has destroyed firefox’s marketshare?

[BrendanEich]

I did not attack Mitchell.
