Comments by "Anony Mousse" (@anon_y_mousse) on "Will Rust-free Linux Kernels Exist Anymore?" video.

Personally, even though I hate Rust, I don't care if they want it in the kernel. I won't be building my own kernels in the future anyway, not unless I write one myself anyhow. The more I read the source code for the compiler and runtime, the more I realize that if someone pushes a Rust job my way I'd rather go hungry than use it. I've never liked the design, it's horribly inconsistent, keywords being at different levels of abbreviation in a way that pains me, and the Java-esque use of access modifiers. The absolutely idiotic choice regarding mutability. The way macros are used, the bastardization of goto, break 'label; is disgusting. The sometimes functional, sometimes imperative design. The way match works. All of these bad design decisions, and more, annoy me on an individual basis, but add up to hatred. However, all of these complaints are merely about personal taste, so feel free to not care.

@Poldovico Exactly. As long as it works well and does everything that you want it to do, it really doesn't matter if it was written in Rust or QBasic. Although, if it were written in QBasic, most of the code would be in DATA blocks, or I suppose they could "extend" the language a bit and make something that's not quite QBasic. That would be a fun proof of concept, a 64-bit multitasking OS written in QBasic.

@Poldovico I'd never be able to do it, because by the time I finished it would no longer look like BASIC. I'd have to add a lot of syntax to the language to make certain tasks more pleasant, proper comment characters, automatic line continuation, a full preprocessor. By the time I finished with it, it'd look like some unholy amalgamation of BASIC, C, Pascal, Python (there are some things I like about it), and even a bit of C++.
