being new does not mean you do not have the right to develop the same way everybody else is. they did not start these issues, there were C people causing issues for no reason other than not liking rust that started it.
The issue is with creating more work for others. Supporting a multi-language toolchain and build environment is a lot more work than a single language one. The R4L folks have made it their mission to shoehorn Rust into the kernel and they’ve explicitly stated that they will not avoid making more work for others. This has upset some longterm maintainers who did not sign up for additional workload.
Linus Torvalds has been accused of many things but he has always been loyal to his best maintainers. That’s been a big key to his success.
yeah fuck those entitled Rust Developers.
Aw hell naw, torvalds supports rust in the kernel and the hate against it is just not based on reality
Sure he allows rust now in the kernel.org but I thought you were referring to the drama around Hector Martin.
yeah how dare they want to develop in the same way that everyone else does
they should have been a bit more respectful to the C maintainers and devs, as they were the newcomers.
