Maybe he's not on the language team (I haven't read enough into Rust governance structures to know definitively) but it's not like he's on some random person working on this. And yes, work takes time, I actually disagreed with his initial approach where his syntax was to have a bunch of effects before the function name, and everyone rightly mentioned how messy it was. So they should be taking it slow anyway.
