Noone is afraid the TRACTOR will be a disaster tarnishing Rust's reputation?

Not unlike Ada's. It is actually pretty good and deeply thought out language. But US govt got involved with it.

I don't know how much of a success TRACTOR will be, probably not a success at all but the fact that thousands perhaps millions of dollars are spend for that is just a testimony for rusts future. I don't think it will harm rusts reputation more than the rust foundation dramas. For developers it's always a risk to invest a lot of time in mastering a language. More so if the language to master is rust, a hard one to begin with. But yeah I guess rust devs need to remind themselves that it is worth it and TRACTOR did just that for me
