- yarg 5y agoThere's a little bit of snark that results from any criticism of the suitability of Rust and its ecosystem for integration into the kernel. Rust's tooling isn't quite as mature as it could be, and it achieves its advanced capabilities and performance by eschewing a runtime (which would make it unacceptable) in favour of labourious compilation. The snark to me seems unnecessary; a more even headed discussion would acknowledge the limitations and focus instead on what can and will be improved or mitigated and what compromises are acceptable. The tooling will mature with time, panics will be mitigated, and the compile time performance is often a sacrifice worth making for the sake of the safety provided.
- ben0x539 5y agoI don't want to call anyone out by making specific examples. I'm talking about comments that in their wording presuppose agreement that the person you're talking to doesn't know what they're doing, or the thing you're talking about is misguided and deserves to be sabotaged. Implications like that may very well be correct, but as always, not sticking to the technical aspects of the subject makes it harder to get anything done.
