Interesting, I was also thinking of the similarities with Jehovah’s witnesses. It’s as if they somehow got into the building, were offered a job and now want to convince everyone of the merits of technical salvation.

Rust the technology is not bad, even though it is still complicated like C++, has rather poor usability (also like C++) and is vulnerable to supply-chain attacks. But some of the people can be very irritating and the bad apples really spoil the barrel. There’s a commenter below gleefully writing that “C++ developers are spinning in their graves”. Probably slightly trolling and mentioning C++ doesn’t make sense in this kernel context, but such hostile, petty comments are not unheard of.
