To be honest, this is incredible.

I'd say this shows a real sense of humor.

100% Rust Linux kernel has to be it being funny.

  • Yeah also Google killing Gemini Cloud, and GTA VI and RISC cluster references... This is really good stuff.

    • My favorite was Is it time to rewrite sudo in Zig. As you may remember Ubuntu had a recent vulnerability caused by their sudo being rewritten in Rust. No idea if the AI knew that though it feels like a clever joke.

  • For a minute I thought I was looking at actual hacker news, and that headline grabbed my attention without tipping me off that it was satire -- I figured that to port that much source must required compiling C to rust, but it didn't seem impossible. I would love to give something like this a spin.
