Rust maintainer perfectionism, or, the tragedy of Alacritty

I did not submit this to Hacker News and did not intend that this post would have high circulation but have no real problem with it being there or with it having such. I have more recent comments below. This post is from January 2020 and predates the Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) project.

I have not worked on Rust projects in quite a while, and don't know if I ever will again. I feel many crate maintainers are way too perfectionist, for example, despite all the developer hours that went into this PR, it took the effort within years to be (halfway) merged.

There's always a reason not to merge, isn't there? It would be better done with a new nightly language feature, or the function signature should have a where clause, or the documentation is not perfect. There's always a new nit to pick in the world of Ru

Nerd Fonts Considered Harmful, and What To Do Instead

For those fortunate enough to remain blissfully unaware of «nerd fonts», I define them as:

nerd font — n. A font which has spliced¹ into a release² of a free software font project a set of standardized³ glyphs which are mostly used by those seen as “nerds” and not the general population of the font's users. .

Footnotes

1. Likely poorly.
2. Likely an outdated release.

# RIP Aaron Swartz, killed by corporate greed. (Not JSTOR itself, they are a charity;
