"first commit to the kernel was back in 2006"
That's not my definition of long history! My first Linux kernel was just pre 2.0 and I used make config. Actually I used make config for quite a while before it got out of hand and I started keeping copies of the config to work from instead of doing it from scratch each time I did an upgrade.
I'm not the sharpest tool ...

- gerdesj 5y agoQuite. There's a term, often used by engineers (Chartered, obviously): "time served". C is time served - it might be a bit weird and start dribbling for no reason but it quite literally runs a huge part of the world. Rust is not time served and it needs to grow up. Initial signs are positive. We are at the cooing stage over a pretty child that may either be the Messiah (a Naughty Boy) or decide to throw its poo at its parents and stick to licking windows. Time will tell.
