I’m curious how they’ll manage long term safety without the guarantees Rust brought. That tradeoff won’t age well.

You may want to read the article.

(Spoiler alert: Rust graduated to a full, first-class part of the kernel; it isn't being removed.)

It's late, but I'm having a hell of a time parsing this. Could you explain what you meant?

  • I think they read the title but not the article and assumed Rust was being removed, and (rightfully, if that were true) opined that that was a shortsighted decision.

    (Of course, that's not what's happening at all.)

    • Ah! I hadn't considered that, thanks. That makes way more sense - having read the article I couldn't figure out what was being said here otherwise.
