Observe our code of conduct

Strive to treat others with respect, patience, kindness, and empathy.
We observe the Rust Project Code of Conduct.

Constructive criticism only

Criticism is encouraged, though it must be constructive, useful and actionable.
If criticizing a project on GitHub, you may not link directly to the project’s issue tracker. Please create a read-only mirror and link that instead.
Keep things in perspective
A programming language is rarely worth getting worked up over.
No zealotry or fanaticism.
Be charitable in intent. Err on the side of giving others the benefit of the doubt.

No endless relitigation

Avoid re-treading topics that have been long-settled or utterly exhausted.
Avoid bikeshedding.
