Disagreement exists, but it's emotional and not technical.
> An actual quote is "keep the wrappers in your code instead of making life painful for others". So it's about where and how.
Literally the same? or you do not include "wrappers" in "rust landing in linux code base" ? Absolutely no one suffers from them landing.
I'm done arguing over this.
> Absolutely no one suffers from them landing.
"Suffers"? No. But "makes the code harder to work on from my perspective"? Well, some people think that it will. And the Rust people are agreeing with that in the very email thread: their solution is "you don't need to write Rust, we can work together on this". Whether that's a good solution is the point of disagreement.
And of course "I don't want Rust landing in Linux code base" is not the same as "I don't want Rust added to this subsystem, I think it should live somewhere else".
