Yo, listen up! dat Rust crew's been pushin' hard to get their language into the Linux kernel, but let's take a step back and examine their priorities, 'kay? They're all about Rust, Rust, Rust - but what about the stability and maintainability of the kernel? I'm talkin' about the millions of users who rely on Linux, not just some niche group of devs who wanna play with the latest shiny thing. Take marcan, the Asahi Linux lead, for example. He's been ragin' about the kernel community bein' resistant to change, but when you look at his own actions, it's clear his priority is gettin' Rust into the kernel, no matter what. He's talkin' about burnout, but it seems like he's more burnt out on the kernel community's cautious approach than on actually gettin' the job done. He be pushin new complexities and work on other people who are not interested in his fetish. We're just trying to ensure that any changes to the kernel are thoroughly tested and validated. I mean, come on, they're the ones who are tryin' to introduce a whole new language into the kernel - shouldn't they be the ones demonstratin' a willingness to work with the community and address our concerns? It's like they're more interested in provin' a point - that Rust can be used in the kernel - than in actually contributin' to the Linux ecosystem in a meaningful way. And that's just not cool, bro. We're talkin' about a critical piece of infrastructure here, not some playground for language enthusiasts. So, yeah, I'm suspicious of their priorities. It seems like they're more about promotin' Rust than about doin' what's best for Linux. And if that's the case, then we need to take a step back and re-evaluate their contributions. The kernel community's not against innovation, but we're not gonna sacrifice stability and maintainability on the altar of some new language or framework, either. |
