That would be an interesting angle if your craziness didn't transpire through.

Sure, the USA is suffering from anti-intellectualism and populism. Their economy is starting to suffer from that, and is projected to get worse.

Europe isn't all that different. It has more culture and art-de-vivre, but has also been falling behind economically as its citizens move away from engineering and science.

Ultimately those dynamics are playing out quite slowly though.

Comment Re: Is Rust political? (Score 1) 78

Rust was built because the guidelines set by the then-CTO prevented using C++ correctly and led to most of the team misunderstanding C++ and looking for an alternative, which is essentially just codifying their bad C++ patterns as a language.

Many of the people from then are not involved anymore and Thinderbird is free to evolve independently as it sees fit now, so there is nothing preventing it from using proper C++.
