[This is what can happen when you forget to delete your dumb HN comment before the configured delay time. Sometimes it gets cemented with replies and then embarrassingly upvoted.]
If they aren't coders and are "toxic" on top of that, get rid of them? Looks like a no-brainer to me.
People upvoted my clueless comment because the assumption is that any people called "core" of a FOSS project must be the coders, or else something is wrong.
There's an easy fix. Don't comment on stuff when you don't know what you're talking about. It's pretty simple.
If you want a hint on what's wrong, here's one for you: discourse on the Internet sucks in part because of people such as yourself making "clueless" comments.
Thanks for the feedback. Because of the way HN works, it supports a "nonlinear comment development process". You jot some random ideas into a comment, which can often turn into a good comment after several edits (in which those ideas no longer appear at all). Or not: it gets deleted before it is seen: there is a configurable delay before your comment goes public. I was sure that one wasn't going to be (in any shape), but I had to respond to some urgent things. That's it.
The people who actually make Rust could simply disavow that Core Team.
I suspect there are reasons why it doesn't simply go down like that. Perhaps it's simply a lack of motivaton; or else hands being tied in various ways (invariably connected to money somehow).
Probably the best thing you can do as a FOSS developer is never grab any dollar waved in front of you and put it in your pocket, if you see so much as a tiny, barely discernible cotton fiber connecting that dollar to some people or conditions.
