Exact same shit as last time, some cranky old dude with the territorial instinct of a bulldog sabotages anything to do with rust under a very thin layer of so-called technical concerns, yet refuses to partake in constructive discussion. Like, literally, the changeset is just bindings in
rust/kernel
? What even is there to complain about regarding maintainability ofkernel/dma
, given that as far as I can tell the rust devs will deal with any future incompatibilities?Very shameful for the kernel community that this kind of aggressive sabotage is regular and seemingly accepted. The incessant toxicity is not a good look and very discouraging to anyone thinking of contributing.
A C/C++ dev acting this way‽ Well I am shocked, SHOCKED!
And they wonder why the rest of the world wants to avoid and run away from that language and culture.
