    You can’t improve and break silence without discussing and making changes. The existing maintainers won’t live forever, having Rust in the Kernel is a bet on the future. Linus wouldn’t have adopted and accepted Rust, if he wasn’t thinking its worth it. And looks like it was already worth it.

        Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it’s a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

        Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.

        Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

        8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the “Rust in Linux Lead” is ridiculous. I’m not saying you are harassing. But, saying it’s a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn’t do justice to how many devs just like rust.

            Fair enough. Personally, I am a developer who only has worked professionally in C#. C/C++ scare me. I would get used to it if I were to use it professionally. on the other hand, I picked up rust as a hobby language for some low level stuff because I love the guardrails the compiler provides. I think rust would help make me a better C programmer TBH.

          If anything I think that the current rust discourse is a fad. I’m not sure what it is about rust that makes people have so strong opinions about it but I can’t wait for it to become a “normal” language so that people can chill about it a bit.

          It’s also possible the number of people who like it do not outnumber the people who don’t like it

            Its also possible that out of the people who hate on it, the people who haven’t actually tried it outnumber the ones who have.
