  1.  @techpriest4787  The language is judged by the actions of whoever is pulling the shots. Because Rust is declared to be political by its own foundation, we can no longer separate the political from the technical concerning Rust. Best to use a language that only deals with technical aspects. In fact, their objective of converting everything C and C++ to Rust is a political power move, because it has no technical basis. There is no justification whatsoever, even on the basis of safety, when C and C++ has tools to deal with memory leakage, and the issue is a non-issue.

  2. ​ @LasagaMan  Anything Rust free is great. Not only it doesn't have that ugly brown color, but also you don't need to spend extra effort on moving it and also it won't make a squealing sound, or worse, seize completely. It will roll smoothly as butter instead.

  4. Python is pretty much on its apex. It will decline.

  5. I don't remember C, or C++, being a religion, or having fanatical people, although I believe fanaticism exists everywhere. But with Python and Rust, it is common to encounter people defending their languages as if there was no tomorrow.

  6. I support the view that legacy code should not be ported to Rust. Basically, all C devs are being ousted. Also, they forget that many devs are voluntary, so if they want to force existing devs to either learn Rust or help, they are basically showing them the door. There is no contractual obligaton, and even if it was, money involved and all, it would reason enough to exit as it breaks contract. Also, Rust is a cult and I'm more than unwelcome there. It is not the language for me, because I don't like to follow very strict rules, languages that have some form of GC, or languages that are ever changing. C and C++ are well established, and you don't have to use the latest standard . TLDR: Linux is turning into a sh*tshow, and Rust is a cult that I wish to keep distance from. A new kernel is needed, since Linus is getting as woke as a soybean.

  7. That would be another cancer.

  8. Yup!

  9. Me too, unless I have a desire of having my computer no longer booting because of something that I said or wrote.

  10. Yes, they can ship their product, but their product is influenced by upstream decisions upstream. So, any OS that relies on the Linux kernel has no choice, unless they fork a previous version of the kernel that was not rusted yet.

  11. Jordan Peterson is right. When people deny God, the first thing they do is to seek other gods and create cults. The cult of vax science, the cult of Python, the cult of Rust. All fanatical people.

  12.  @amorphousblob2721  The main problem I see are the several infiltration operations of political nature that the Linux community has been suffering for a while now. Rust is just another example. It is bonkers to use an ever changing, unstable language that is not adequate for systems, to essentially code parts of the kernel (drivers, in a monolithic kernel, are parts of the kernel). The kernel has reached a level of stability that had not before, but it seems that crapification has to happen. We can't have good things, and I bet Micro$oft is applauding, instead of looking to improve their joke products.
