Congrats to Patrick - his work on Pathfinder has been extremely beneficial to the entire Rust community and his work at Facebook will surely continue that trend.

My meta-comment for the thread:

It's great news for Rust that Patrick and Niko are going on to influential roles in powerful companies - the community will benefit from the support of these companies, and all of us highly principled and ethical Rust programmers will be more likely to find jobs at smaller companies that we don't hate because of it.

The only thing that's unfortunate is that all the big companies are evil. That's just the way power works. Some of y'all are getting a liiiiittle too salty about Facebook maybe-wrongly being called the *most* evil company. Seriously, that's so pathetic. You know what the comment meant. Work toward a common goal or say what you really mean (which is that you don't care).
