Unless you put stake into right-wing ideologues who hate Rust because it has many cat girl developers, there is no drama. And for the record, you shouldn't, the hate peddlers make your life worse.

And great proof that Rust is free and independent is the fact that they still (carefully) do breaking changes (e.g. the slow rollout of the never type). If the corporate world would dictate its development, it'd never break existing code.

There was the Rust Talk Reflections Drama...

Zig is a much smaller community and has already had some drama. You can't magically avoid it. All communities of a sufficient size have drama.

It might be true that Rust has a bit more drama because of the high concentration of "cat girls" as flying_sheep put it, but I don't think there's enough data to really say. Also I wouldn't be surprised if Zig attracts similar characters given its closely related goals.
