Any tips on how to solve when 2 projects want to become "The Standard" and in the end both are just 2 different ways of doing the same? We are currently facing that with OpenTelemetry Rust and Tokio/Tracing. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but it seems that merging the two won't happen 😔

The most successful "new standards" usually are backwards compatible. Early adopters can begin using the valuable new features without being cut off from people using the old system, and therefore the standard can be gradually adopted.
