You're missing context. Linux Rust devs themselves were unhappy with Hector's flaming "on their behalf".

again, as a user, I don't care. I use linux & visiting HN because of tech, not because of any politics.

Martin's patch should not be delayed or rejected because of the rust language, it is an approved language. If some maintainer has issue with such rust language approval, they should address that particular issue not patches using that language. They can also choose to resign.

  • One problem: it wasn't even his patch. He just jumped in on the discussion. And other Rust devs are calling him out for derailing the thread.

    Edit: eh, hadn't seen that your root comment is now flagged. Don't even remember what you had written initially, but it did feel rather uninformed. You should probably check a bit more that you have enough information before forming an opinion?
