What makes you think Linus won't learn Rust? I believe he's said that accepting Rust into the kernel will involve key maintainers learning Rust, and that so far they seem cautiously open to that.
- newaccount2021 5y agohe may think he knows Rust until he gets his first whiff of real Rust line noise. to be certain, line noise in C is probably something he sees every day as well, but he also has decades of experience to help him filter it it seems inevitable that the same counterarguments he used to decline C++ will eventually be trotted out again. it is disappointing to see kernel devs be taken in by the Rust Hype
