Dang, context?

https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/208e1fc3-cfc3-4a26-98c3-a48ab35bb9db@marcan.st/ this reply and its parent thread should give enough context. I was going to say you can get more info on his side of the argument on his Mastodon page, but it appears he has taken it down

tl;dr: he wanted some implementation in Rust, people said "but I don't understand rust", he said it doesn't matter because those people don't have to maintain it, nothing moved forward and he gave up.

Seconded, would love some more context

Edit: Apparently there was Rust drama, again, in the past few days

That’s what happens when you woke out and become more focused on arguing instead of coding

Comments are gold lol. You heard it first here folks, Rust is Woke.

This Engine is Woke meme

I think it's good tbh.

Why?

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@infosec.pub 0 points 4 months ago

The mainstream kernel is pretty evil now imo.

[-] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago

I've only ever seen people be anti rust, never anti kernel. Can I ask when the kernel became evil?

I think it was fine before 2024. Last year Linus made a geopolitical decision and I think there was another incident but I can't remember it now. Because of that I consider using custom kernels without such issues generally better.

Look at his post history and you'll know why.
