  • That’s disengenuous though.

    • We’re not forcing you to learn rust. We’ll just place code in your security critical project in a language you don’t know.

    • Rust is a second class citizen, but we feel rust is the superior language and all code should eventually benefit from it’s memory safety.

    • We’re not suggesting that code needs to be rewritten in rust, but the Linux kernel development must internalise the need for memory safe languages.

    No other language community does what the rust community does. Haskellers don’t go to the Emacs project and say “We’d like to write Emacs modules, but we think Haskell is a much nicer and safer functional language than Lisp, so how about we add the capability of using Haskell and Lisp?”. Pythonistas didn’t add Python support to Rails along side Ruby.

    Rusties seem to want to convert everyone by Trojan horsing their way into communities. It’s extremely damaging, both to those communities and to rust itself.
