Stjepang is a very smart person and I'm actually quite excited about what he's going to bring to the Go world.
Rust/Go really are the Emacs/Vim of programming languages: little in common but commonly mentioned in the same breath.
Was there a blogpost? Or when/where was this announced?
he posted a goodbye issue on a smol repo, but since then deleted it, so maybe he changed his mind
I found the github issue in Google cache. I'm not sure it's really fair of me to post this link here, but equally I think it's better to give the actual text rather than leave it vague.
Thanks for the pointer! It's really sad to hear this. I'm using smol in my project and really like it. I didn't know the author left until now. It's a great loss for Rust, in my opinion.
