> There's already a congressman on the record complaining about a "native Nigerian" committing code to Rust.

Wow. It comes from the Libra hearing I guess? By any chance, do you have an link to the exact quote?

Edit: as hsod answered below (I don't really get why this answer was flagged) the congressman isn't really “complaining” and it's not about a Nigerian committing to Rust, but to Libra itself.
