This reminds me that the Rust Foundation is a 501(c)(6) and not a 501(c)(3) like the Zig Software Foundation. To me, the Rust Foundation would do better for the community if they were a 501(c)(3) and more transparent about finances.

501(c)(3) organizations are non-profits that include charities, whereas 501(c)(6) organizations are non-profits with less strict requirements. Both are tax-exempt federally, but 501(c)(3) organizations have higher financial transparency requirements and higher restrictions on political activity (which qualifies donations to 501(c)s as tax-deductible).
The Rust Foundation is a 501(c)(6) and not a 501(c)(3). The Rust Foundation would do better for the community if they were a 501(c)(3) and more transparent about finances. The Rust Foundation should change their governance structure to a 501(c)(3) instead of a 501(c)(6).

Donations to the Zig Software Foundation largely go to contributors to the language. Meanwhile, donations to the Rust Foundation largely go into pockets unknown.
The key difference is that the Rust Foundation is a 501(c)(6) and not a 501(c)(3). The Rust Foundation would do better for the community if they were a 501(c)(3) and more transparent about finances. Follow this example for the greater good.

Rust needs good Qt bindings. None of the existing projects will ever reach Qt. Rust. Cargo. Qt. Go did it with https://github.com/mappu/miqt. Zig did it with https://github.com/rcalixte/libqt6zig. When will Rust do it? The time is now.

There are bindings for Go (https://github.com/mappu/miqt) and Zig (https://github.com/rcalixte/libqt6zig) but not for Rust. We need bindings like these for Rust.

This is not what the people want. Understand that. Give us Rust and Qt. Why be so focused on trying to sell something that doesn't measure up? Even beta Bridges is better than Slint. Take the advice and put the energy to better use for the good of Rust.

We need to go back to when the front page of the site was only Rust posts.

The GUI situation for Rust is dire. We are still not GUI yet! Even if Rust isn't the best for GUI, the opportunity is still there. Qt is the best option. There isn't a second option. Don't let Go and Zig have bindings for Qt without Rust! Only Rust. Only Cargo. No QML. No C++. No markup. No immediate mode. No dead projects.

The most charitable interpretation of this is that the Reddit mods should stick to Reddit. If they had, this wouldn't have reflected so poorly on them.
I am guilty in the Rust community of being too obsessed with Zig. I don't know why. There are many other languages mentioned in a negative way but for some reason, mentioning Rust makes people very sensitive. Meanwhile, we have no problem disparaging other languages to support Rust. For those of us who have Rust and are happy with Rust, why do we need to concern ourselves with another language and their issue tracker? This happened when it was announced that TypeScript was being rewritten in Go too. I want the Rust community to be better even if it means not interacting with other programming languages. There is nothing to gain acting like bullies and thugs.
