if you use Haskell, Nix, or Rust it is your professional obligation to ostracize these people in any way shape or form that you have the capacity for. if you work for Anduril you are less than dirt; if you take their money you are a pathetic, disgusting loser.

To "revel in the death of those who truly deserve it...is normal, good, and aligned with our natural and national order," Anduril co-founder Palmer Luckey wrote on X.

Anduril uses Haskell, Rust, and Nix extensively in their work. they‘ve been recruiting from the Haskell community pretty heavily for the last 8+ years or so, back when they were principally known for making evil border drone surveillance tech.

i have my reservations about the impact of weapons development at primes like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, but i was at a wedding this weekend with a bunch of engineers who work for them and every single one of them hated Anduril for just and moral reasons.

not the jealous hatred of a cool startup competitor, genuine actual moral disdain that i have struggled to find from people in the software industry. when Lockheed guys think Luckey deserves [TOS violation] it makes it that much worse to see Anduril get glazed by my industry peers lemme tell ya!

My takeaway would probably be closer to "The pot calling the kettle black" rather than "Oh wow if those bad guys think these guys are bad, they must be really bad then"
