That's my overall point of view too. Regardless of infinite technical discussions about one or another, if Alice and Bob can't live together than just don't get married.
Why spend all this energy on conflict and drama to no end? If one language/technology/group is so much better then just fork the thing and follow their own path.
I'm actually not defending the C guys, I just want to leave them alone and let "Nature" take his course, if they die on obsolescence, then they die. who cares..
I concur. Personally, I'd love to see all the Linux Rust effort being redirected at Redox OS.
If the Asahi team focused their efforts on Redox, with all the genius talent they they have, we could see an actually practical, usable implementation of Redox on real hardware; a potential daily-driver which would catapult the development of whole ecosystem - and that can only be a good thing.
Redox has stayed drama free so far.
I am sure most people involved with the Linux rust effort are also not problematic; these would be very welcome there.
OTOH, please don't let Redox be taken over by problematic people.
Redox is drama-free because Redox has very few developers working on it. In the last 12 months, Redox had 7 contributors that touched more than 100 lines of code.
Hard to have too much drama if you have a handful of developers that do code changes, and no users to complain about any of your decisions.
