After all the resistance to Rust in the Linux Kernel, it's finally official. Kudos to the Linux Rust team!

wasn't there like a drive by maintainer rejection of something rust related that kind of disrupted the asahi project ? i can't say i followed the developments much but i do recall it being some of that classic linux kernel on broadway theater. i also wonder if that was a first domino falling of sorts for asahi, i legitimately can't tell if that project lives on anymore

  • IIRC, it was not about Rust vs. C, but a commotion rooted from patch quality and not pushing people around about things.

    Linux Kernel team has this habit of a forceful pushback which breaks souls and hearts when prodded too much.

    Looks like Hector has deleted his Mastodon account, so I can't look back what he said exactly.

    Oh, I still have the relevant tab open. It's about code quality: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43043312
