How is questioning the choice of project to fund feeding trolls? I was under the impression that diversity was mostly considered a good thing, that has to go for perspectives as well. I just don't get why Rust desperately needs a lot more money than any other tool that's equally useful, they were already pretty well funded by other organizations.
This is one research grant on Rust among tons of grants on other projects. And it funds research. When somebody has equally valid research project on C, rest assured it’ll be funded as well, as it has already happened (EDIT) with research on abstract interpretation, separation logic and so on.
